25 AM/FM Metrics (SA Only and Option 355)

In this Chapter

Using AM/FM Metrics

Using FieldFox’s analog demodulation, users maintaining AM/FM radio

systems can demodulate and characterize AM and FM signals. They can tune

to the signal and listen to the audio tones using FieldFox’s built-in speakers or

a headphone. They can also display the RF spectrum, the demodulated

waveform and AM/FM metrics such as carrier power, modulation rate, and

SINAD.
AM/FM Metrics enables you to make the following measurements:

And, can be enabled/disabled simultaneously with Tune and Listen.

Overview of Measurement Types

If you are familiar with the AM/FM measurements and terms, skip to

“How to

Set Up AM/FM Metrics” on page 512

The FieldFox assumes you have manually set up the CF, span, and

amplitude settings. Refer to

Chapter 9, “SA (Spectrum Analyzer) Mode.”

“Using AM/FM Metrics” on page 509

“SINAD and THD Calculations” on page 516

“Interpreting AM/FM Metrics Error Messages” on page 519

AM Measurements:

— AM Measurements: Carrier power, AM rate, AM modulation

index

FM Measurements:

— FM deviation (peak and RMS), Modulation Rate, Carrier power,

Demodulated voltage, SINAD, THD (total harmonic distortion)
