3.3 Measuring an AM Signal
Through the demodulation function, the AM modulating signal can be separated from
the carrier and displayed on the screen. In the example below, we use a generator
(such as
RIGOL DG3101A) to output an AM modulating signal as the signal under
measure: the carrier is a sine wave with 100 MHz and -10 dBm, the modulating
frequency is 1 kHz, while the modulation depth is 100%.
Method 1: (in Zero Span)
Procedures:
1.
Device attachment
Connect the output terminal of the generator to the RF INPUT 50Ω terminal on
the front panel of the analyzer.
