Demodulating an AM Signal Using the Analyzer as a Fixed Tuned
Receiver (Time-Domain)
The X-Series signal analyzer can be used to recover amplitude modulation on a
carrier signal.
The following functions establish a clear display of the waveform:
• Triggering stabilizes the waveform trace by triggering on the modulation
• Sweep time to view the rate of the AM signal.
• RBW and VBW are selected according to the signal bandwidth.
envelope. If the modulation of the signal is stable, video trigger synchronizes the
sweep with the demodulated waveform.
