Operating Manual 1407.6062.32 ─ 08

Filter

The filter is set in the Filter section.

Filter - Digital Modulation

Selects the baseband filter (see

chapter 5.8.3.4, "Baseband Filter - Custom Digital

, on page 290).

SCPI command:

Filter Parameter - Digital Modulation

Sets the filter parameter.

The filter parameter offered ("Roll Off Factor" or "B x T") depends on the currently selected
filter type.

SCPI command:

Cut Off Frequency Factor - Digital Modulation

(available for filter parameter Lowpass and APCO25 (LSM) only)

Sets the value for the cut off frequency factor. The cut off frequency of the filter can be
adjusted to reach spectrum mask requirements.

SCPI command:

Bandwidth - Digital Modulation

Determines the bandwidth of the cosine filter, so that the function H(f) = 0 is fulfilled for

f >= (1+RollOff)*Bandwidth/2

.

SCPI command:

Oversampling - Digital Modulation

Determines the upsampling factor. If the check box is activated, the most sensible param-
eter values are selected. The value depends on the coherence check. If the check box
is deactivated, the values can be changed manually.

SCPI command:

Baseband Signal - Baseband Block
