SIGLENT 2.4 Analog Modulation Amplitude Modulation (AM) Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a technique for delivering information by linearly varying the amplitude of an RF carrier signal. AM source can be selected as an internal source, external source or internal source + external source. To source dual tone level modulation, configure the source for internal source + external source. The internal source is shared with the LF. When the LF is turned on, the internal source can’t be used as a modulation source.
SIGLENT source level to the modulation depth is 50%/V AM State Select MOD->AM-> AM State, and then turn on or off the level modulation. AM Source An internal and/or external source can be selected for amplitude modulation. Press MOD->AM->AM Source to set “Int” or “Ext” or “Int + Ext”. The default is “Int”. 1. Int When internal modulation is selected, the AM Shape, AM frequency, and AM depth are controlled by the instrument.
SIGLENT external modulation source level to the modulation depth is 50%/V. 3. Int + Ext Use both the internal and externally applied modulation signals, this technique can be used to source dual tone AM. AM Shape The SSG5000X supports modulation waveforms for internal “sine” and “square” modulation sources. Select MOD->AM-> AM Shape, after setting to “Int” or “Int+Ext”, you can select AM waveform as “Sine” or “Square”. AM Rate Select MOD->AM-> AM Rate, and set the AM rate. 1.
SIGLENT from 0.01% to 100%. The relationship between the modulation depth m and the carrier sideband level difference ΔP is satisfied: ΔP=6.02-20*log (m) When the “Ext” modulation source is selected, the sensitivity of the external modulation source level amplitude to the modulation depth is 50%/V. For example, the modulation depth is 100% when the external modulation signal is 2Vpp (offset is 0V), and the modulation depth is 50% when the external modulation signal is 1Vpp (offset is 0V).

The PM Shape, PM deviation, and PM rate can be set. 2. Ext Use an externally applied modulation signal. The external signal is input via the EXT MOD INPUT connector with an impedance of 50 ohms 3. Int + Ext Use both, the internal and externally applied modulation signal; this technique can be used to perform two-tone PM.
SIGLENT PM Rate Select MOD ->PM->PM Rate, then you can set the PM rate. 1. The sine wave modulation frequency range is 0.01Hz~100kHz 2. The square wave modulation frequency range is 0.01Hz~20kHz PM Deviation The setting range is0.00001rad~N × 5rad. For the definition of N, refer to the data sheet. ⚫ When the modulation source is set to “Int “, the set value is actually the frequency offset of the RF output.
SIGLENT External modulation sensitivity The display shows the unit offset quantized by the amplitude of the externally modulated signal, which is equal to the maximum offset when the external modulation input is full scale. When the “Int+Ext” modulation source is enabled, the internal and external each account for 50% of the maximum offset, so when the external source inputs a full scale signal, it only accounts for 50% of the maximum output offset.

Marker Setting Area In the marker setting area, each row of parameters in the table represents the marker settings of a segment: ⚫ First Mkr Point: Set the sample point corresponding to the first marker point of the segment.
SIGLENT Functions of each item in the menu bar at the bottom of the page: ⚫ Add: Insert a marker point range in the next line where the current cursor is located. ⚫ Delete: Delete the marker point range in the line where the current cursor is located. ⚫ Clear: Clear all the marker points from a waveform segment. ⚫ Apply: Make the current marker points setting of a segment effective. ⚫ Display: Click to view the marker signal diagram. ⚫ Return: Return to the previous menu.
SIGLENT "I" and "Q" on the right side of Y axis represent the output waveforms of I and Q of the currently selected waveform segment. "1", "2", "3" and "4" represent four marker signals. The horizontal direction of the schematic diagram represents the sample point and marker point of the waveform segment, and the vertical direction represents the power level of the output signal.
SIGLENT Waveform Utilities Press I/Q->ARB->Waveform Utilities to enter the waveform utilities setting menu. Select Segment Select the waveform segment for scaling or peak clipping the I and Q data. Scaling Set the amplitude scaling percentage of a waveform segment. The signal generator uses an interpolation algorithm (sampling between the I/Q data points) when reconstructing a waveform. For common waveforms, this interpolation can cause overshoots, which may create a DAC over-range error condition.
SIGLENT Clipping Type Set the waveform clipping type to circular or rectangular clipping. The clipping function enables you to reduce peak–to–average power, and consequently spectral regrowth, by clipping the waveform. Clipping limits waveform power peaks by clipping the I and Q data to a selected percentage of its highest peak. Circular clipping Circular clipping (|I+jQ| clipping) is applied to the composite I/Q data (I and Q data are equally clipped).
SIGLENT Clip |I+jQ| to Set the percentage of I / Q signal value (√𝐼 2 + 𝑄2 ) reduced to the peak value. Clip |I| to Set I Waveform clipping percentage. Clip |Q| to Set Q Waveform clipping percentage.
SIGLENT Apply to Waveform Click the "Apply to Waveform" button to make waveform scaling or clipping effective. Note: Waveform scaling and clipping are non–reversible. Any data lost in the scaling or clipping operation cannot be restored. Save a copy of the waveform file before scaling or clipping. Display CCDF Click to view the CCDF (Complementary Cumulative Distribution Figure) before and after waveform segment clipping.
SIGLENT Generate a CCDF waveform diagram based on the selected waveform. The vertical direction represents probability; The horizontal direction represents a multiple of the relative average power (in dB). The yellow curve is the current CCDF curve of the selected waveform. And the grey curve is the CCDF reference curve. You can use the zoom feature to observe different details of the waveform.
SIGLENT Trigger Type Trigger type defines the trigger mode: how the waveform plays when triggered, and you can set the trigger type to continuous, single, segment advance or ext gated. 1) Continuous: Continuous mode repeats the waveform until you turn the signal off or select a different waveform, trigger mode, or response (Free Run, Trigger & Run, and Reset & Run). 2) Single: Single mode plays the waveform once. 3) Segment Advance: Segment Advance mode plays a segment in a sequence only if triggered.
SIGLENT 3) Reset & Run: Plays the waveform when a trigger is received; subsequent triggers restart the waveform. Single Mode The single mode can be set to no retrigger, buffered trigger or restart on trigger mode. 1) No Retrigger: Ignores an early trigger received while a waveform is playing. 2) Buffered Trig: An early trigger received while a waveform is playing waits until the current waveform completes, then plays the waveform once more.
SIGLENT 2) Continuous: A segment in a sequence plays continuously until the waveform receives another trigger. If a trigger is received while a segment is playing, the segment plays to completion. The dual ARB player then advances to the next segment and plays that segment continuously. Ext Gated Mode The ext gated mode can be set to active high or active low. The waveform stops during the inactive state of the trigger source, and plays during the active state.
SIGLENT hidden. Ext Polarity The Ext Polarity can be set to positive or negative. ⚫ Positive: The signal generator responds during the trigger signal low state. ⚫ Negative: The signal generator responds during the trigger signal high state. Note: In Continuous, Single, and Segment Advance modes, use the “Ext Polarity” item to set the external trigger polarity. In Ext Gated mode, the Active Low and Active High items determine the external trigger polarity.
SIGLENT effect. Delay Samples Set the number of sampling points from the time when the external trigger signal is received until the trigger takes effect, that is delay time = delay samples / sample clock. Note: When the trigger mode is initially selected or when changing from one trigger mode to another, the carrier signal on the RF output may be lost until the modulating signal is triggered. This is because the signal generator sets the I and Q signals to 0 V before the first trigger event.
SIGLENT the same way every time you play a waveform. The waveform sequence header file takes precedence over the header file of each waveform segment. When the waveform sequence is played, the waveform segment header files are ignored and the waveform sequence header file is automatically loaded into the signal generator.

If the problem remains still, please contact SIGLENT and provide your device information of the SSG (Get method: UTILITY->System Info). 1． The SSG’s screen is still dark (no display) after power on: (1) Check whether the fan is running: — If yes, the connection of the internal screen cable may be loose.
SIGLENT (3) If a key is not working, the numeric keyboard connection might be loose or the numeric keyboard is broken. Do not disassemble the instrument by yourself and contact SIGLENT. 3． Correct setting but incorrect waveform output (1)No RF output －Check that the signal cable is securely connected to the corresponding [RF OUTPUT 50 Ω] port. －Check the cable for damage. －Check if the RF button backlight is lit.
SIGLENT －Check if the modulation parameters are appropriate and modulate the modulation parameters appropriately. －If an external modulation source is used, make sure that the external source is connected correctly and has an output and should work within the range established by the source. 4． Sweep is abnormal: (1)Scanning stagnation The user interface frequency zone/amplitude zone displays a scan progress bar indicating that a scan operation is in progress. If there is stagnation, check the points.
SIGLENT －Determine if the dwell time setting is too large or too small for the scan to be visible. －Make sure at least two points are set in the step scan or list scan. (2) In the list or step scan, the amplitude does not change －Verify that the scan type is set to Amplitude or Frequency & Amplitude. －If the current scan type is set to Frequency, the amplitude value does not change.
SIGLENT (2) Verify that the RF signal source has been warmed up for at least 30 minutes before testing. (3) Check that the performance of the test equipment used meets the requirements.
