Generating a DSB-AM Modulated Waveform
1.
Generate a carrier wave
of type Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arb(itrary).
2. Before outputting, press the Front Panel
Mod
function button. You should see "Mod" appear next to the car-
rier wave type on the Channel tab, and the modulation parameter menu and value list on the display.
3. Press the
Type
softkey, then press the
DSB-AM
softkey.
4. Set the following DSB-AM parameters:
l
Modulation
Source
-
Internal
or
External
. If External is selected, attach the modulation source to the
Modulation In
connector on the Back Panel. You do not need to set any other parameters.
l
DSB Frequency
- If using Internal source, set a DSB frequency of up to 50 KHz.
5. Press the appropriate channel
Output
button to begin outputting the waveform.
Generating a PWM Modulated Waveform
Pulse-Width Modulation is used exclusively with Pulse type waves.
1.
Generate a carrier wave
of type Pulse.
2. Before outputting, press the Front Panel
Mod
function button. You should see "Mod" appear next to the car-
rier wave type on the Channel tab, and the modulation parameter menu and value list on the display. The
modulation Type will be set to PWM.
3. Set the following PWM parameters:
l
Modulation
Source
-
Internal
or
External
. If External is selected, attach the modulation source to the
Modulation In
connector on the Back Panel. You do not need to set any other parameters.
l
PWM Freq
(uency) - the rate at which the pulse is modulated.
l
Width Dev
(iation) -modulating pulse width.
4. Press the appropriate channel
Output
button to begin outputting the waveform.
