Phase Modulation (PM)
Carrier Waveform Shape
• PM carrier shape: Sine, Square, Ramp, or Arbitrary waveform.
The default is Sine. You cannot use pulse, noise, or dc as the
carrier waveform.
• Front-Panel Operation: Press any of the front-panel function keys
except or
choose the Select Wform softkey to select the active waveform.
• Remote Interface Operation:
FUNCtion {SINusoid|SQUare|RAMP|USER}
You can also use the APPLy command to select the function, frequency,
amplitude, and offset with a single command.
Carrier Frequency
The maximum carrier frequency depends on the function selected as
shown below. The default is 1 kHz for all functions.
Function Minimum Frequency
1 µHz
Sine
1 µHz
Square
1 µHz
Ramp
1 µHz
Arbs
• Front-Panel Operation: To set the carrier frequency, press the Freq
softkey for the selected function. Then use the knob or numeric
keypad to enter the desired frequency.
• Remote Interface Operation:
FREQuency {<frequency>|MINimum|MAXimum}
You can also use the APPLy command to select the function, frequency,
amplitude, and offset with a single command.
