Configuring the RF Output

Configuring the RF Output
This section will show you how to create continuous wave and swept RF outputs.

Configuring a Continuous Wave RF Output

Using these procedures, you will learn how to set the following parameters:
• RF output frequency
• frequency reference and frequency offset
• RF output amplitude
• amplitude reference and amplitude offset
Setting the RF Output Frequency
1. Press .
Preset
This returns the signal generator to the factory-defined instrument state.
You can change the preset conditions to a user-defined instrument state.
NOTE
However, for the purpose of these examples, use the factory-defined preset state
(the
Preset Normal User
2. Observe the FREQUENCY area of the display (in the upper left-hand corner).
The value displayed is the maximum specified frequency of your signal generator.
3. Press .
RF On/Off
The hardkey must be pressed before the RF signal is available at the
RF On/Off
RF OUTPUT connector. The display annunciator changes from RF OFF to RF ON. The
maximum specified frequency is now being output at the RF OUTPUT connector (at the
signal generator's minimum power level).
4. Press >
Frequency
The new 700 MHz RF frequency is now displayed in the FREQUENCY area of the display and
also in the active entry area.
