Example 10: Generate an FM Modulation Waveform
Generate an FM modulation waveform: the carrier is a sine wave with 10 kHz frequency, the
modulating wave is a sine wave with 1 Hz frequency and 2 kHz frequency deviation.
Set the frequency, amplitude and offset of the carrier wave.
1.
Press Waveforms and choose the sine waveform as the carrier wave.
2.
Press Frequency/Period and choose Frequency which will display in a blue color. Input ’10’
from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘kHz’ to set the frequency to 10 kHz
3.
Press Amplitude/HighLevel and choose Amplitude which will display in a blue color. Input
’1’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘Vpp’ to set the amplitude to 1 Vpp.
4.
Press Offset/LowLevel and choose Offset which will display in a blue color. Input ’0’ from
the keyboard and choose the unit ‘Vdc’ to set the offset to 0 dV DC.
Set the modulation type FM and its parameters.
1.
Press Mod →Type → FM, choose FM. The message shown on the middle left side of the
screen is ‘FM’.
2.
Press FM Freq, input ‘1’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘Hz’ to set the FM Freq to 1
Hz.
3.
Press FM Dev, input ‘2’ from the keyboard and choose the unit ‘kHz’ to set the FM deviation
to 2 kHz.
4.
Press Shape →Sine, to choose sine wave as the modulating waveform.
When all parameters above are set, the waveform generated is shown in Figure 83.
