Mod Gen block 
 
The internal modulation sources are configured in this block. Also, the LF sweep can be activated here. 
An internal LF generator is available as the internal source for the analog modulations AM, FM and PM. 
Different modulation shapes - sine and rectangle - are offered.  
The internal modulation signals are provided at the LF output at the front of the instrument. The LF 
output signal and the modulations sources for the analog modulations AM, FM and PhiM can be 
selected independently from each other.   
A pulse generator (optional) provides single and double pulse modulation with selectable pulse widths 
and periods.  
The R&S SMB Signal Generator offers three different sweep types (frequency sweep, level sweep and 
LF sweep) to be activated alternatively. Each type has 6 modes which differ with respect to the sweep 
cycle mode (continuous, individual and step-by-step) and triggering mode (automatic, internal and 
external). In the Mod Gen block, the LF sweep is configured. Frequency and Level sweep settings are 
accessed via the RF block. 
The status display in the block shows whether LF generator and/or a sweep are active.  
 
Modulation block 
 
The internal and external analog modulations are configured and activated in this block. The 
 MOD 
ON/OFF  key switches the active modulation(s) on/off.
