Operation
CW (Continuous Wave) Demo
The RF output connector generates a CW signal at 2.4 GHz.
The red LED labeled “CW” at grid location B11 turns on.
NOTE.
There is no corresponding demo setup in the oscilloscope for this mode.
Multiple Peaks Demo
The RF output connector generates an array of frequencies, which are centered around 2.4 GHz, to show the ability of
the MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes to dynamically mark each peak in the frequency domain with its exact frequency
and amplitude.
The red LED labeled “Multiple Peaks” at grid location B11 turns on.
Spectrogram Demo
The RF output connector generates an array of frequencies, which are centered around 2.4 GHz and are both amplitude and
frequency modulated, to show the value of the Spectrogram function on slowly changing RF phenomena.
The red LED labeled “Spectrogram” at grid location B11 turns on.
VCO/PLL Turn On Demo
The RF output connector, VCO-1 Enable loop, and PLL-1 Voltage loop, and the SPI, CLK, SPO_SS_1, and SPO_MOSI
square pin connectors generate signals that show the interaction between the control signals and the latency of the RF
output turning on and tuning to the desired frequency. Use this mode with the
VCO-1 On/Off
push button, which toggles
the state of the VCO-1 on and off.
The red LED labeled “VCO/PLL-1 Turn On” at grid B11 turns on.
ASK Modulation Demo
The RF output connector generates an RF signal, which is centered at 2.4 GH,z and is amplitude-modulated by a control
signal that turns the RF output on and off. View the control signal and a trigger signal by connecting analog channels to the
ASK_MOD probe loop and the Trigger loop.
The red LED labeled “ASK Modulation” at grid B12 turns on.
Frequency Hop Demo
The RF output connector generates three frequency steps. These are centered at 2.4 GHz and step up and down 3 MHz from
the CF (center frequency). By using the built-in RF Frequency versus Time function of the MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes,
you can see the frequency hop represented as a real-time waveform in the time domain.
The red LED labeled “Frequency Hop” at grid B12 turns on.
