At this point, the RF signal generator sweeps from the start frequency and level to the stop frequency and level continuously at certain step according to the current settings.
Chapter 4 Application Examples RIGOL To Output a RF Modulated Signal This section introduces how to output an AM modulated signal by taking amplitude modulation (AM) as an example. Set the carrier frequency to 800 MHz, the carrier amplitude to -20 dBm, the AM modulation depth to 60% and the modulation frequency to 20 kHz. 1.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting RIGOL Chapter 5 Troubleshooting The chapter lists the commonly encountered failures of DSG800 and their solutions. When you encounter those problems, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If the problem remains still, please contact RIGOL and provide your device information (Syst Information System Info). 1.
RIGOL Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 4. The setting is correct but the waveform output is incorrect: (1) There is no RF output — Check whether the signal connecting cable is tightly connected to the corresponding [RF OUTPUT 50Ω] connector. — Check whether the connecting cable has internal damage. — Check whether the connecting cable is tightly connected to the test instrument. — Check whether the backlight of RF/on is illuminated. If not, press this key to illuminate the backlight.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting RIGOL — Make sure that at least two points are set in the step sweep or list sweep. (2) The dwell time of list sweep is incorrect — Press SWEEP List Swp to enter the sweep list menu. — Press Load to load the desired sweep list and press View to check whether the dwell time in the sweep list is correct. — If the dwell time is incorrect, re-edit the sweep list and load it to the instrument. If the dwell time is correct, turn to the next step.
RIGOL Chapter 5 Troubleshooting (3) Check whether the RF signal generator is working under the specified environment temperature. (4) Check whether the test is being performed in a highly magnetic environment. (5) Check whether the power supplies of the RF signal generator and test system have strong interference. (6) Check whether the performance of the test device meets the requirement. (7) Check whether the test device is within the calibration period.
