Because the detector will respond to its input amplitude regardless of frequency, this energy causes the ALC to reduce the output amplitude. In this example, the reverse power across the detector is actually greater than the ALC level, therefore the amplitude output of the generator is actually shut down.

A sweep frequency signal is input in the I channel of the vector signal generator. The I/Q modulation generates a double-sideband modulation signal, and the signal analyzer is used to observe the frequency response of the double-sideband signal. When testing, the vector signal generator is set to ALC open loop.

Waveform coding truly reflects the waveform changes of the speech signals and retains all intrinsic features of the speech, so its intelligibility and naturalness are good.

The constellation defines the mapping relation between the signal distribution of the modulation technique and the modulated digital bits. The characteristics of a modulation technique can be fully defined by signal distribution and mapping, that is, they can be fully defined by the constellation.

The BPSK modulation signals can be generated by using the conventional analog modulation method (using the NRZ signal double-sideband DSB amplitude modulation) or by using the keying method. In modern communication devices, they are generally generated by using I/Q modulators.

Filters with rectangular frequency responses are not possible in reality and filters with infinitely steep responses require infinite number of poles. However, we can use the raised cosine filter (RCF) to complete the zero-crossing Nyquist criterion. When these filters are used, the roll-off between the passband and the stopband is a cosinc function.
