System error correction of the I/Q modulator permits precise and repeatable measure-
ments.
If a temperature fluctuation of several degrees occurs, trigger the correction routine
using the following:
●
Select "I/Q Mod > I/Q Modulator > Adjust I/Q Modulator Current Frequency"
Settings:
State............................................................................................................................279
Source.........................................................................................................................279
Adjust I/Q Modulator Current Frequency.................................................................... 279
I/Q Swap..................................................................................................................... 280
I/Q Wideband.............................................................................................................. 280
Crest Factor................................................................................................................ 281
Optimization Mode...................................................................................................... 281
(Baseband) Gain.........................................................................................................281
State
Activates/deactivates I/Q modulation.
Note: Interdependency. If "Source > Internal Baseband", the I/Q modulator is always
activated automatically when signal generation is activated ("Baseband > State > On").
I/Q modulation can, however, be deactivated later, e.g. if the relevant signal is the
baseband signal and it is directly routed to the I/Q outputs.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:IQ:STATe on page 831
Source
Selects the input signal for the I/Q modulator. Refer to Table 5-1 for an overview of the
possible input signals and the connectors they are supplied at.
"Internal Baseband"
Selects the internal baseband signal.
"Analog Wideband I/Q Input"
Selects an external analog signal.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:IQ:SOURce on page 830
Adjust I/Q Modulator Current Frequency
Starts the adjustment for the I/Q modulator for the currently set frequency and base-
band gain. The I/Q modulator is adjusted regarding carrier leakage, I/Q imbalance and
quadrature.
