Φ M Source - HP ESG Series User Manual

Φ
M Source
Pressing this softkey reveals a menu of choices for phase modulation sources. You
can choose internally-generated phase modulation or select an externally-applied
signal from either the EXT 1 INPUT or EXT 2 INPUT connectors. The internal
modulation is always AC-coupled. For the externally-applied signals, you can
choose between AC- and DC-coupled modulation. A 1.0 Vpk input is required for
Φ
calibrated M deviation settings. The
annunciators will turn on if the peak input voltage differs from 1.0 Vpk by more
than 3%. (The LO/HI annunciators only function for AC-coupled external inputs.)
The internal and external 1 and 2 sources have multiple uses. You can use them
for amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation. For pulse modulation you must
use the external 2 source. However, any given source can only be routed to one
enabled modulation at a time. If, for example, you were using the external 1
source in a frequency modulation configuration for
configured to also use the external 1 source, the signal generator would
AM Path 2
turn off and assign the external 1 source to your
FM Path 1
configuration. Notice that for these purposes the external 1 AC-coupled source is
the same as the external 1 DC-coupled source and the external 2 AC-coupled
source is the same as the external 2 DC-coupled source.
