2.4 Analog Modulation
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a technique for delivering information by linearly varying the
amplitude of an RF carrier signal.
AM source can be selected as an internal source, external source or internal source +
external source. To source dual tone level modulation, configure the source for internal
external source. The internal source is shared with the LF. When the LF is turned
on, the internal source can’t be used as a modulation source.
