General Characteristics

External 1 input

This BNC input connector accepts a ±1 Vpeak signal for

 

AM, FM, pulse, burst, and phase modulation. For all

 

these modulations, ±1 Vpeak produces the indicated

 

deviation or depth. When ac-coupled inputs are selected

 

for AM, FM, or phase modulation and the peak input

 

voltage differs from 1 Vpeak by more than 3%, the hi/lo

 

annunciator light on the display. The input impedance is

 

50 ohms and the damage levels are 5 Vrms and 10 Vpeak.

 

If you configure your signal generator with Option 1EM,

 

this input is relocated to a female BNC connector on the

 

rear panel.

External 2 input

This BNC input connector accepts a ±1 Vpeak signal for

 

AM, FM, phase modulation, and pulse modulation. With

 

AM, FM, or phase modulation, ±1 Vpeak produces the

 

indicated deviation or depth. With pulse modulation,

 

+1 V is on and 0 V is off. When ac-coupled inputs are

 

selected for AM, FM, or phase modulation, and the peak

 

voltage differs from 1 Vpeak by more than 3%, the hi/lo

 

annunciator light on the display. The input impedance is

 

50 ohms and the damage levels are 5 Vrms and 10 Vpeak.

 

If you configure your signal generator with Option 1EM,

 

this input is relocated to a female BNC connector on the

 

rear panel.

GPIB

Allows communication with compatible devices.

 

[rear panel]

I input

Accepts an I input either for I/Q modulation or for

 

wideband AM. Nominal input impedance 50 or 600 ohms.

 

Damage levels are 1 Vrms and 10 Vpeak. [BNC, front panel]

I out and Q out1

The I out and Q out connectors output the analog

 

components of I/Q modulation from the internal

 

baseband generator. The nominal output impedance of

 

these connectors are 50 , DC-coupled. The damage

 

levels are > +3.5 V and < –3.5 V. The output signal levels

 

into a 50 load are as follows:

 

• (O.5 Vpeak,), corresponds to one unit length of

 

the I/Q vector.

 

• (0.7 Vpeak ), for peaks for p/4 DQPSK.

 

• (1.6 Vp-p) maximum [Options 601, 602, 001, 002 only].

 

These female BNC connectors are provided on signal

 

generators with Option 601 or 602. On signal generators

 

with Option 1EM, these inputs are relocated to rear

 

panel SMB connectors.
