To output a modulated waveform A modulated waveform consists of a carrier and a modulating waveform.
In AM (amplitude modulation), the amplitude of the carrier is varied by
the amplitude of the modulating waveform. For this example, you w ill
output an AM waveform with 80% modulation depth. The carrier will be a
5 kHz sine wave and the modulating waveform will be a 200 Hz sine wave.
1 Select the function, frequency, and amplitude of the carrier.
For the carrier waveform, you can select a sine, square, triangle, ramp,
or arbitrary waveform. For this example, select a 5 kHz sine wave with
an amplitude of 5 Vpp.
Shift AM 2Select AM.
Notice that the AM annunciator turns on.
Shift 3 Use the menu to select the shape of the modulating waveform.
< Recall Menu After you enable the AM function, the “recall menu” key will
automatically take you to the AM SHAPE command in the MOD MENU.
