when trigger signal is 11, it will output hop phase 3.
nPSK setting: trigger signal just takes the triggering effect, and has no relationship with which
phase outputting.
3.9.7 Sync output
: Sync signal’s duty cycle is 50%, and sync signal’s frequency is equal to phase
shift keying rate.
PSK setting: when carrier phase is output, sync signal will be low level; when hop phase is output,
sync signal will be high level.
4PSK setting: when carrier phase and hop phase 2 are output, sync signal will be low level; when
hop phase 1 and 3 are output, sync signal will be high level.
nPSK setting: carrier phase and the three hop phases are output randomly, which has no high level
or low level relationship with sync signal.
If external trigger is used, sync signal will be decided by external trigger signal.
3.10 Amplitude shift keying(ASK)
In ASK, the amplitude of output signal hops between carrier amplitude and hop amplitude
alternately, and hop rate depends on shift keying rate.
3.10.1 Function selection
: Press
【
Modulate
】
to enter modulation function, and then press
〖
Type
〗
to display modulation type menu, press
〖
ASK
〗
or
〖
OSK
〗
modulation type will be ASK or OSK,
and display the amplitude-shift keying waveform’s diagram and menu.
3.10.2
Carrier setting
: We usually use sine as carrier wave. Of course other built-in waveforms
can also be used, but some are not suitable. Press
【
CH1

to enter carrier wave parameter interface,
to set carrier wave’s parameter. Press
【

】
to enter modulation parameter setting interface to
set its parameter.
3.10.3 Hop Amplitude
: In ASK, press
〖
Hop Ampl
〗
soft key to set its value. Hop amplitude must
be less than carrier amplitude. The default setting for OSK hop amplitude is 0, so there is no menu
item for OSK.
3.10.4
Hop Time:
In OSK, press
〖
Hop Time
〗
soft key to set its value. Hop Time represents the
period of amplitude decreases from carrier amplitude to 0 or increases from 0 to carrier amplitude.
In ASK, default hop time is 0 without menu option.
