Frequency Shift Keying (FSK):
this modulation is a 2 level FSK. The carrier frequency switches
between the initial carrier frequency and the initial carrier fre
Hop Frequency [Hz]
. It is
available for all functions except for the Pulse, Double Pulse, DC level and Noise.
Note that the Hop Frequency can be negative and it must satisfy the following conditions:

Where the Maximum Frequency depends on the selected carrier.
•
Phase Shift Keying (PSK):
this modulation is a 2 level PSK. The carrier phase is shifted by the
value of
Hop Phase [deg]
. It is available for all functions except for the Pulse, Double Pulse, DC
level and Noise.
The hop phase is between 0 and 360 deg.
•
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM):
this modulation is available only for the Pulse waveform. It
modulates the width of the Pulse of the quantity defined in the
Deviation [%]
parameter that
defines the maximum increase and decrease of the Duty Cycle in percentage. The deviation has
to meet the following conditions:

Where
ε
is a small margin to avoid that the duty cycle reaches the 0 % or the 100 % and the
factor “0.8” takes into account that the edges are defined as 10-90%.
Sweep
The Sweep mode modulates the waveform frequency following a law that can be
Linear, Logarithm,
Upstair
or
User Defined.
The
User Defined
selection gives the possibility to load the sweep profile from
a file.
The Sweep is available for all function except for Pulse, Double Pulse, Noise and DC level.
