Demo 8: Digital modulation analysis

The General Purpose Digital Modulation Analysis provides vector signal analyzer functionality. A wide variety of
modulation types are supported, allowing you to view your signals in Constellation, Eye and Trellis diagrams,
measure the quality of the modulation, display time-domain waveforms for demodulated I & Q signals, EVM, Phase
Error, Magnitude Error, and more. This example shows how to demodulate a QPSK signal with RSA306. This
demonstration also introduces the concept of application presets to quickly set up for complex analysis tasks. This
demonstration relies on the optional modulation analysis capabilities of SignalVu-PC. If you are using a basic version
of SignalVu-PC, a trial license for this analysis can be accessed through the Tools: Manage Licenses menu of the
software.

Instructions for the demo board 

1. Use the ROW and COLUMN buttons

to change the signal type from FM to
QPSK1.
