ASK Rate | Agilent Technologies U2761A specification

Features and Functions

ASK Rate

The ASK rate is the rate at which the output amplitude “shifts” between two preset amplitudes. The range of the ASK rate is 2 mHz to 100 kHz. The default ASK rate value is 10 Hz.

Soft Front Panel Operation

On the ASK Rate panel as shown in Figure 2- 26, input the desired ASK rate value and select the unit from the drop down list.

Remote Interface Operation

ASKey:INTernal:RATE <rate in Hz>

Generate ASK Modulation Using SCPI Commands

Example 1
-> CLS; RST	//To reset the U2761A to
	default power-on state, this
	command can be ignored if
	this operation is not
	required.
-> ASK:STAT ON	//Enables ASK modulation.
-> FUNC SIN	//Sets the carrier waveform to
	Sine wave.
-> FREQ 1000	//Sets the carrier frequency to
	1 kHz.
-> VOLT 5 VPP	//Sets the output amplitude to
	5 Vpp.
-> VOLT:OFFS 0	//Sets the output offset to 0.
-> ASK:INT:RATE 10	//Sets the ASK rate to
	10 Hz.
-> OUTP ON	//Turns on output.
