Configuring The Lf Output (Psg-A Series Only) - Agilent Technologies E8241A User Manual

Configuring the LF Output (PSG-A Series Only)

The PSG-A Series signal generator has a low frequency (LF) output. The LF output's source
can be switched between an internal modulation source (internal monitor 1 or 2) or an
internal function generator (function generator 1 or 2).
Using internal monitor 1 or 2 as the LF output source, the LF output provides a replica of the
signal from either internal source (1 or 2) that is being used to modulate the RF output. The
specific modulation parameters for this signal are configured through the AM, FM, or ΦM
menus.
Using function generator 1 or 2 as the LF output source, the function generator section of the
internal modulation source (1 or 2) drives the LF output directly. Frequency and waveform
are configured from the LF output menu, not through the AM, FM, or ΦM menus. You can
select the waveform shape from the following choices:
Sine sinewave with adjustable amplitude and frequency
Dual-Sine dual sinewaves with individually adjustable frequencies and a percent-of-
peak-amplitude setting for the second tone (available from function
generator 1 only)
Swept-Sine a swept sinewave with adjustable start and stop frequencies, sweep time,
and sweep trigger settings (available from function generator 1 only)
Triangle triangle wave with adjustable amplitude and frequency
Ramp ramp with adjustable amplitude and frequency
Square square wave with adjustable amplitude and frequency
Noise noise, in a uniform or Gaussian distribution, with adjustable amplitude
generated as a peak-to-peak value (RMS value is approximately 80% of the
displayed value)
DC direct current with adjustable amplitude
