2 Welcome to the Analog Demodulation
Application
The R&S
FSW-K7 AM/FM/PM measurement demodulator option converts the
R&S
FSW into an analog modulation analyzer for amplitude-, frequency- or phase-
modulated signals. It measures not only characteristics of the useful modulation, but
also factors such as residual FM or synchronous modulation.
The digital signal processing in the R&S
FSW, used in the Spectrum application for
digital IF filters, is also ideally suited for demodulating AM, FM, or PM signals. The
firmware option R&S
FSW-K7 provides the necessary measurement functions.
The R&S FSW Analog Demodulation application features:
●
AM, FM, and PM demodulation, with various result displays:
–
Modulation signal versus time
–
Spectrum of the modulation signal (FFT)
–
RF signal power versus time
–
Spectrum of the RF signal
●
Determining maximum, minimum and average or current values in parallel over a
selected number of measurements
●
Maximum accuracy and temperature stability due to sampling (digitization) already
at the IF and digital down-conversion to the baseband (I/Q)
●
Error-free AM to FM conversion and vice versa, without deviation errors, frequency
response or frequency drift at DC coupling
●
Relative demodulation, in relation to a user-defined or measured reference value
This user manual contains a description of the functionality that the application pro-
vides, including remote control operation.
All functions not discussed in this manual are the same as in the base unit and are
described in the R&S
FSW User Manual. The latest version is available for download
