Configuring Fm - Agilent Technologies E8241A User Manual

Configuring FM

Using this procedure, you will learn how to create a frequency-modulated RF carrier with the
following characteristics:
• RF output frequency set to 12 GHz
• RF output amplitude set to 0 dBm
• FM deviation set to 75 kHz
• FM rate set to 10 kHz
Setting the RF Output Frequency

The signal generator is now configured to output a 0 dBm, frequency-modulated carrier at
12 GHz with a 75 kHz deviation and a 10 kHz rate. The shape of the waveform is a sinewave.
(Notice that sine is the default for the
softkey.)
