5.22 Internal BPSK Mode
Introduction
The Internal BPSK mode generates a phase shift keyed signal of fixed amplitude. An internal timer is used as a modulating signal to switch the output phase between 0 and 180 degrees at a specified rate. The modulation is suppressed carrier; i.e. no carrier energy is present in the output waveform.
BPSK mode could be accessed from “other” modes menu.

1. Modulating Frequency
3
In this field enter the carrier phase switching frequency. You may enter from 0 Hz to 130,000 Hz in 1 Hz steps. The internal modulating frequency is accurate to 1 Hz from 0 Hz to 3900 Hz. It is accurate to within 1% across its
full range of 0 Hz to 130,000 Hz.
2. Carrier Frequency
In this field enter the frequency of the carrier. You may enter from 0 Hz (DC) to 31.5 MHz in 0.01 Hz steps.
3. Level
In this field enter the output level, from 4 mVp
NOTE: The level specified is a 50O loaded level. This is the level of the signal, which will appear across a 50O load connected to the SIG Out connector. Into an open circuit, the output swing will be twice the value entered.
Offset
By pressing this key, you can enter an offset voltage for the output waveform. For more information on output offsets refer to section 4.4.
Ext Gating Input
This TTL compatible input can be used to turn the output signal on or off. A logic high voltage on this jack (+3V to +10V) will turn off the output signal. A logic low voltage on this jack (0V to
