Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Modulating Source
The waveform generator will accept an internal or external modulation
source for AM.
• Modulating source: Internal (default), Other Channel, or External.
• If you select the External source, the carrier waveform is modulated
with an external waveform. The modulation depth is controlled by the
±5 V signal level present on the rear-panel Modulation In connector.
For example, if you have set the modulation depth to 100%, then
when the modulating signal is at +5 volts, the output will be at the
maximum amplitude. When the modulating signal is at -5 volts, then
the output will be at the minimum amplitude. The external modulation
input has -3 dB bandwidth of 100 kHz.
• Front-Panel Operation: After enabling AM, press the Source softkey.
• Remote Interface Operation:
