R&S SMB  Amplitude Modulation - AM 
1407.0806.32 4.63  E-2 
 
 
 
State - AM 
Activates/deactivates AM modulation.  
Remote-control command: 
SOUR:AM:STAT ON 
 
AM Source - AM 
Selects the source for the AM signal.  
The source can be selected independently for the different modulation 
types and the LF output.  
The configuration of the selected external and/or internal modulation 
source is performed in the lower section of the menu or in the Mod 
Gen block (internal source only).  
 
Int 
Selects the internal modulation source for AM 
modulation. 
Remote-control command: 
SOUR:AM:SOUR INT 
   
Ext 
Selects the external source. The external signal is 
input via the MOD EXT connector.  
Remote-control command: 
SOUR:AM:SOUR EXT 
 
Int + Ext 
Selects the internal and external source at the same 
time. This setting enables two-tone AM modulation.  
Remote-control command: 
SOUR:AM:SOUR INT,EXT 
 
AM Depth 
Sets the modulation depth in percent.  
Note: 
With two-tone modulation please observe that the set modulation 
depth is valid for both signals and the sum modulation depth is 
determined by doubling the set modulation depth. This results in 
overmodulation if the maximal value for modulation depth is 
exceeded (see data sheet). 
Remote-control command:
