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.
Select MOD->AM, to enter the level modulation parameter setting state. The setting
instructions are as follows:
