Quick Start Guide

Generating a Modulated Signal

Generating a Modulated Signal

To simplify the example, assume you wish to generate an 
amplitude modulated (AM) signal with a:

Carrier frequency of 900 MHz

Carrier power level of –20.0 dBm

AM depth of 60%

Setting up carrier frequency and amplitude

Setting up Amplitude Modulation

Operation

Notes

1

. Press 

 hardkey.

Sets the signal generator to its 
factory-defined instrument state.

2

. Press 

 > 

900 

MHz

Sets the carrier frequency to 

900 MHz

 

for amplitude modulation.

3

. Press 

 >–20 

dBm

Sets the carrier amplitude to 

–20 dBm

 

for amplitude modulation.

Operation

Notes

1

. Press 

 

hardkey.

Displays the 

AM

 first level menu.

2

. Press 

AM Depth 

60 

%

Set the AM depth to 60%.

3

. Press 

AM On Off

 

softkey.

AM toggles from

 

Off 

to

 

On

The  

indicates “On” signifying that you 
have enabled amplitude modulation.
