Creating a Two–Tone Waveform
This procedure describes how to create a basic, centered, two–tone waveform.
1. Preset the signal generator.
2. Set the signal generator RF output frequency to 6 GHz.
3. Set the signal generator RF output amplitude to –10 dBm.
4. Press Mode > Two –To ne > Freq Separation > 10 > MHz.
5. Press Two Tone Off On to On.
6. Turn on the RF output.
The two–tone signal is now available at the signal generator RF OUTPUT connector. Figure 12-1 on
page 290 shows what the signal generator display should look like after all steps have been
completed. Notice that the T-TONE, I/Q, annunciators are displayed; the RF ON, MOD ON are on; and
the parameter settings for the signal are shown in the status area of the signal generator display.
