Chapter VII AM-FM-PM Analyzer Mode (optional)
Section 1 Introduction to Typical Measurement
The AM-FM-PM analyzer mode is used for displaying the spectrum of AM, FM and PM signals and analyzing
relevant parameters. The main spectrum and relevant parameters are shown below:
RF spectrum: Similar to the spectrum analyzer mode, the frequency spectrum of the modulation signal will be
displayed, and the occupied bandwidth can be measured.
Audio spectrum: Display the frequency spectrum of the demodulated audio signal.
Audio waveform: Display the waveform of the demodulated audio signal within the time domain.
Parameter analysis: Measure and analyze the carrier power, modulation rate, carrier offset, modulation depth
(AM), modulation frequency offset (FM), modulation phase deviation (PM), S/N, modulation distortion and total
harmonic distortion of the modulated signal.
All operations in this chapter are based on the AM-FM-PM analyzer mode, which will
not be separately described below.
Three spectrograms can be displayed at the same time or respectively in the AM-FM-PM analyzer mode. Press

and select [RF Spectrum], [Audio Spectrum], [Audio Waveform] and [Summary] to display one or
all spectrum(s).
In order to better observe the measured signal, the following steps can be taken:
1) Press

or knob.
4) Press

appropriate scale/division to facilitate the viewing of RF spectrum.
5) Press
【

】 → [Span] and set the appropriate span. Press [Scale/Div] and set the appropriate
scale/division to facilitate the viewing of the frequency spectrum of the audio signal.
6) Press
【
Audio Waveform
】
→ [Sweep Time], and set the display time of the audio signal waveform. Press
[Scale/Div] and set the appropriate scale/division to facilitate the viewing of the frequency spectrum of the
audio signal.
Set the appropriate IF bandwidth. The IF bandwidth should be more than the width of
the modulation signal, so as to accurately demodulate the signal. You can observe the
bandwidth in the RF spectrum. At the same time, noise may be produced in the case of
too large IF bandwidth, which will affect the accuracy of parameter measurement.
Taking the FM signal measurement for example, the AM-FM-PM analyzer mode is introduced as follows. At first,
input the FM signal generated by one signal source to the RF input end of the instrument. Set the signal frequency
as 6GHz, amplitude as -27dBm, modulation rate as 3kHz and modulation offset as 30kHz. Measurement
procedures are as follows:
1) Press
【

→ [Demod Type AM FM PM] and select FM.
