Selecting a Custom ARB Setup or a Custom Digital Modulation State

1.Preset the signal generator: press Preset.

2.Press Mode > Custom > Arb Waveform Generator > Setup Select.

3.Select either:

•one of the predefined modulation setups: NADC, PDC, PHS, GSM, DECT, EDGE, APCO 25 w/C4FM, APCO 25 w/CQPSK, CDPD, PWT, or TETRA

This selects a predefined setup where filtering, symbol rate, and modulation type are defined by the predefined modulation setup (mode) that you selected and returns you to the top- level custom modulation menu; it does not include bursting or channel coding.

•Custom Digital Mod State

This selects a custom setup stored in the Catalog of DMOD Files (see page 144 for information on creating a custom digital modulation setup).

Modifying a Single-Carrier NADC Setup

In this procedure, you learn how to start with a single- carrier NADC digital modulation and modify it to a custom waveform with customized modulation type, symbol rate, and filtering.

1.	Press Preset.
2.	Press Mode > Custom > ARB Waveform Generator > Setup Select > NADC.
3.	Press Digital Mod Define > Modulation Type > PSK > QPSK and OQPSK > QPSK.

4.Press Symbol Rate > 56 > ksps.

5.Press Filter > Select > Nyquist.

6.Press Return > Return > Digital Modulation Off On.

This generates a waveform with the custom single- carrier NADC digital modulation state. The display changes to Dig Mod Setup: NADC (Modified). During waveform generation, the DIGMOD and I/Q annunciators appear and the custom single- carrier digital modulation state is stored in volatile memory.

7.Set the RF output frequency to 835 MHz.

8.Set the output amplitude to 0 dBm.

9.Press RF On/Off.

The user- defined NADC signal is now available at the RF OUTPUT connector.

10.Press Return > Return.

This returns to the top- level Digital Modulation menu, where Digital Modulation Off On is the first softkey.
