Signal Generator Overview
Front Panel Overview
13. LF OUTPUT
This BNC connector is the output for modulation signals generated by the low frequency (LF)
source function generator. This output is capable of driving 3 V
p
(nominal) into a 50Ω load.
If you configure your signal generator with Option 1EM, this output is relocated to a female
BNC connector on the rear panel.
14. RF OUTPUT
This female Type-N connector is the output for RF signals. The source impedance is 50Ω. The
damage levels are 50 Vdc, 50 W at
≤ 2 GHz, and 25 W at > 2 GHz maximum. The reverse
power protection circuit will trip, however, at nominally 1 W.
If you configure your signal generator with Option 1EM, this output is relocated to a female
Type-N connector on the rear panel.
15. Mod On/Off Key
Pressing this hardkey enables or disables all active modulation formats (AM, FM, ΦM, Pulse,
or I/Q) that are applied to the output carrier signal.
This hardkey does not set up or activate an AM, FM,
ΦM, Pulse, or I/Q format; each
individual modulation format must still be set up and activated (for example,
AM > AM On) or
nothing will be applied to the output carrier signal when the
Mod On/Off hardkey is enabled.
The MOD ON/OFF annunciator, which is always present on the display, indicates whether active
modulation formats have been enabled or disabled with the Mod On/Off hardkey.
16. RF On/Off Key
This hardkey toggles the operating state of the RF signal present at the RF OUTPUT
connector. An annunciator is always visible in the display to indicate whether the RF is
turned on or off.
17. Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad consists of the 0 through 9 hardkeys, a decimal point hardkey, and a
backspace hardkey ( ). The backspace hardkey enables you to backspace or specify a
negative value. When specifying a negative numeric value, the negative sign must be entered
prior to entering the numeric value.
