Working with Modulation Types
Working with Modulation Types
The Modulation Type menu enables you to specify the type of modulation
applied to the carrier signal when the Mod On Off hardkey is on.
When the Custom Off On softkey is on:
— For Custom Arb, the BBG (baseband generator) creates a sampled version
— For Custom Real Time I/Q, the real–time custom I/Q symbol builder creates
In Custom Real Time I/Q, you can also:
— Create user–defined modulation type (see
— Restore all modulation parameters to their default state.
To Select a Predefined Modulation Type
1. Press Preset.
2. Press Mode > Custom > ARB Waveform Generator > Digital Mod Define >
3. Select one of the available modulation types.
If you select QPSK and OQPSK, you must make a specific selection from the
NOTE
menu that displays.
To Use a User–Defined Modulation Type (Real Time I/Q Only)

Editor
In I/Q modulation schemes, symbols appear in default positions in the I/Q
plane. Using the I/Q Values editor, you can define your own symbol map by
changing the position of one or more symbols. Use the following procedure to
create and store a 128–symbol QAM modulation.
