Frequency Modulation
Test Methods
Test assembly See section "Standard Test Assembly for Analog Modulations",
page 1.3.
Test Method "FFT
Demodulation (Option FS-K7)"
• The FM deviation and distortion are determined by digital signal
processing in the spectrum analyzer.
Settings on R&S FSQ:
AMPTD / REF LEVEL test level,
FREQ / CENTER test frequency
FMDEMOD,
FMDEMOD ON,
RESULT DISPLAY / FM resp. PM
DEMOD BW > 2 * (deviation + fmod) for FM,
DEMOD BW > 2 * fmod * (1 + deviation) for PM,
RANGE / DEVIATION PER DIV 0.5 * deviation
MEAS TIME 3/fmod
for distortion (up to 3
r
d
harmonic)
RESULT DISPLAY / FM resp. PM / AF SPECTRUM
DEMOD BW > 2 * (deviation + 3.5 * fmod) for FM,
DEMOD BW > 7 * fmod * (1 + deviation) for PM,
MEAS TIME 16/fmod
FM Setting Uncertainty
