AM
The AM function modulates the amplitude of the 3152B output
waveform. Four standard modulating waveforms are available:
sine, triangle, square, and ramp. AM can be used in Continuous,
Triggered, and Gated modes. Modulation depth is programmable
from 0% to 100% and up to 200% in some cases.
Frequency Hopping
The Frequency Hopping function causes the output frequency to
hop through a sequence of frequencies. The amount of time the
3152B dwells on each frequency is programmable. You may opt to
set the dwell time uniformly over the entire hop list.
The frequency hop table can contain up to 1,000 frequency values
ranging from 10 Hz to 100 MHz.
Amplitude Hopping
The amplitude hopping function causes the output amplitude to hop
through an amplitude list. The amount of time the 3152B dwells on
an amplitude level is programmable for each hop. You may also set
the dwell time uniformly over the entire hop list.
The amplitude hop table contains up to 5,000 different amplitude
values ranging from 0 V to 16 V.
FSK
FSK (frequency shift keying) shifts the output between two
frequencies. The logic level of the TRIG/PLL input determines the
instantaneous frequency value. When the trigger slope is set to
positive and the TRIG/PLL is false, the output is at the base
frequency. When TRIG/PLL is true, the output frequency is shifted
by an offset. To reverse the trigger polarity, select the negative
trigger slope.
PSK
PSK (phase shift keying) shifts the phase of the output between 0
°
and 180
°
. The logic level of the TRIG/PLL determines the phase
value. When the trigger slope is set to positive and the TRIG/PLL is
false, the phase shift is 0
°
. When TRIG/PLL is true, the phase shift
is 180
°
. To reverse the trigger polarity, select the negative trigger
slope.
ASK
ASK (amplitude shift keying) shifts the output between two
amplitudes. The logic level of the TRIG/PLL input determines the
instantaneous amplitude value. When the trigger slope is set to
positive and the TRIG/PLL is false, the output is at the base
amplitude. When TRIG/PLL is true, the output amplitude is shifted
by an offset. To reverse the trigger polarity, select the negative
trigger slope.
