MEAS TIME D 16/fmod s
Vary the carrier frequency from 1 MHz to RF
max
. Recommended
test frequencies 1 MHz, 46.87 MHz, 186.9 MHz, 1.1 GHz, 2.2GHz,
3.2 GHz, 6 GHz.
Settings on the signal generator:
- LF Output ON
- LFGen Voltage 1 V (V
peak
).
Set the generator frequency to the frequencies given below and
measure the modulation depth in RMS.
Gen. frequency 10 Hz 100 Hz 1 kHz
10 kHz 50 kHz

Repeat the measurement at RF = 1 GHz with the setting
Amplitude Modulation External Coupling AC
Repeat the measurement at RF = 1 GHz with the internal
modulation generator with the setting
Amplitude Modulation Source Internal.
