Custom Digital Modulation
Using the Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Using the Arbitrary Waveform Generator
This section teaches you how to build dual arbitrary waveform generated custom TDMA
digital modulation for testing component designs.
Custom dual arbitrary waveform generated digital modulation creates waveforms using the
modulation type, filtering, symbol rate, and other parameters defined by individual digital
communications standards. These waveforms transmit unframed data.
Using Predefined Custom TDMA Digital Modulation
This section teaches you how to perform the following tasks:
• “Selecting a Predefined EDGE Setup” on page 246
• “Generating the Waveform” on page 246
• “Configuring the RF Output” on page 246
Selecting a Predefined EDGE Setup
1. Press
Preset.
2. Press
Mode > Custom > ARB Waveform Generator.
3. Press
Setup Select > EDGE.
Generating the Waveform
Press
Digital Modulation Off On.
This generates a waveform with the predefined EDGE state selected in the previous section.
The display changes to Dig Mod Setup: EDGE. During waveform generation, the DIGMOD and
I/Q annunciators appear and the predefined digital modulation state is stored in volatile
memory. The waveform is now modulating the RF carrier.
Configuring the RF Output
1. Set the RF output frequency to 891 MHz.
2. Set the output amplitude to
−5 dBm.
3. Press
RF On/Off.
The predefined EDGE signal is now available at the signal generator’s RF OUTPUT
connector.
