Customizing a Multicarrier Setup

In this procedure, you learn how to customize a predefined multicarrier digital modulation setup by creating
a custom 3-carrier EDGE digital modulation state.

1. Press

Preset

.

2. Press

Mode

>

Custom

>

Arb Waveform Generator

>

Multicarrier Off On

.

3. Press

Multicarrier Define

>

>

Done

.

4. Highlight the

Freq Offset

value (

500.000 kHz

) for the carrier in row 2, and

press

Edit Item

>

−

625

>

kHz

.

5. Highlight the

Power

value (

0.00 dB

) for the carrier in row 2, and press

Edit Item

>

−

10

>

dB

.

You have a custom 2-carrier EDGE waveform with a carrier at a frequency offset of

−

625 kHz and a

power level of

−

10.00 dBm.

6. Press

Return

>

Digital Modulation Off On

.

This generates a waveform with the custom multicarrier EDGE state. The display changes to

Dig Mod

Setup: Multicarrier (Modified)

. During waveform generation, the

DIGMOD

and

I/Q

annunciators appear and the new custom multicarrier EDGE state is stored in volatile memory.

7. Set the RF output frequency to 890.01 MHz.

8. Set the output amplitude to

−

10 dBm.

9. Press

RF On/Off

.

The custom multicarrier EDGE waveform is available at the RF OUTPUT connector; it does not include
bursting or channel coding.

10. Press

Mode

>

Custom

>

Arb Waveform Generator

, where

Digital Modulation Off On

is the first softkey.

11. Press

Multicarrier Off On

>

Multicarrier Define

>

>

Load/ Store

>

Store To File

.

If there is already a file name from the

Catalog of MDMOD Files

occupying the active entry area,

press

Edit Keys

>

Clear Text

.

12. Enter a file name (for example,

EDGEM1

) using the alpha keys and the numeric keypad, and press

Enter

.

The user-defined multicarrier digital modulation state is now stored in non-volatile memory.

NOTE

The RF output amplitude, frequency, and operating state settings (such as RF On/Off) are

not stored as part of a user-defined digital modulation state file. For more information,
refer to

“Using Data Storage Functions” on page 52
