DC to 100 kHz (DC coupled),
10 Hz to 100 kHz (AC coupled),
20 Hz to 100 kHz (AC coupled with ALC). Less than 5 ∝s to 100 kHz.
Less than 1% of the set frequency deviation when DC coupled.
Less than 3% at 1 kHz rate for deviations up to 100 kHz. Typically <0.5% at 1 kHz rate for deviations up to 10 kHz.
Internal LF generator or external via
2 level or 4 level FSK.
Note that 4 FSK is not available with Option 11 Fast Pulse fitted.
External data connected to TRIGGER INPUT connector (2 level) or TRIGGER INPUT and PULSE INPUT connectors (4 level).
Settable up to ±100 kHz. As FM deviation accuracy.
±3.2 ∝s
8th order Bessel, −3 dB at 20 kHz.
0 to 10 radians.
3 digits or 0.01 radians.
±5% of indicated deviation excluding residual phase modulation.
100 Hz to 10 kHz.
Less than 3% at 10 radians at 1 kHz modulation rate. Typically <0.5% for deviations up to 1 radian at 1 kHz.
Internal LF generator or external via
0 to 99.9%. 0.1%.
±5% of set depth at 1 kHz rate at +17°C to 27°C ambient temperature. Temperature coefficient <0.02% per °C.
DC to 30 kHz (DC coupled),
10 Hz to 30 kHz (AC coupled),
20 Hz to 30 kHz (AC coupled with ALC).
Less than 2.5% at 1 kHz rate for modulation depths up to 80%, Less than 1.5% at 1 kHz rate for modulation depths up to 30%.
Internal LF generator or external via
32 MHz to 2.4 GHz, usable to 10 MHz.
Maximum guaranteed output is reduced to +20 dBm, +14 dBm above 1.2 GHz. When pulse modulation is enabled, adds ±0.5 dB to the RF level accuracy.
TTL/CMOS compatible pulse input is on
A logical ‘1’ (3.5 V to 5 V) turns the carrier on, a logical ‘0’ (0 V to 1 V) turns the carrier off. Maximum safe input is ±15 V.
Better than 45 dB below 1.2 GHz. Better than 40 dB above 1.2 GHz.
Less than 10 ∝s.
