and PULSE INPUT connectors (4 level).
Frequency shift: Settable up to ±100 kHz.
Accuracy As FM deviation accuracy.
Timing jitter ±3.2 µs
Filter 8 th order Bessel, −3 dB at 20 kHz.
PHASE MODULATION
Deviation 0 to 10 radians.
Resolution 3 digits or 0.01 radians.
Accuracy at 1 kHz ±5% of indicated deviation excluding residual phase modulation.
Bandwidth (3 dB) 100 Hz to 10 kHz.
Distortion Less than 3% at 10 radians at 1 kHz modulation rate. Typically <0.5% for deviations up
to 1 radian at 1 kHz.
Modulation source Internal LF generator or external via front-panel BNC.
AMPLITUDE MODULATION (for
carrier frequencies <500 MHz, usable
to 2 GHz)
Range 0 to 99.9%.
Resolution 0.1%.
Accuracy
±5% of set depth at 1 kHz rate at +17 °C to 27°C ambient temperature.
Temperature coefficient <0.02% per °C.
Bandwidth (1 dB) DC to 30 kHz (DC coupled),
10 Hz to 30 kHz (AC coupled),
20 Hz to 30 kHz (AC coupled with ALC).
Distortion 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%.
Modulation source Internal LF generator or external via front-panel BNC.
PULSE MODULATION
Carrier frequency range 32 MHz to 2.4 GHz, usable to 10 MHz.
RF level range Maximum guaranteed output is reduced to +20 dBm, +14 dBm above 1.2 GHz.
RF level accuracy When pulse modulation is enabled, adds ±0.5 dB to the RF level accuracy.
Control TTL/CMOS compatible pulse input is on front-panel BNC connector with 10 k Ω input
impedance.
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.
ON/OFF ratio Better than 45 dB below 1.2 GHz.
Better than 40 dB above 1.2 GHz.
Rise and fall time Less than 10 µs.
