Pulse Width‖ and ―Pulse Period‖ setting. For detailed information, please refer
to ―SDG1000X Datasheet‖. The default value is 200μs.
Pulse duty cycle is defined as the percentage that the pulse width takes up in
the whole period. Pulse duty cycle and pulse width are correlative. Once a
parameter is changed, the other will be automatically changed.

To Set the Rise/Fall Edge
Rise edge time is defined as the duration of the pulse amplitude rising from 10%
to 90% threshold, while fall edge time is defined as duration of the pulse
amplitude moving down from 90% to 10% threshold. The setting of rise/fall
edge time is limited by the currently specified pulse width limit. Users can set
rise edge and fall edge independently.

2.8 To Set Harmonic Function
The SDG1000X can be used as a harmonic generator to output harmonics
with specified order, amplitude and phase. According to the Fourier transform,
a periodic time domain waveform is the superposition of a series of sine
waveforms as shown in the equation below:
Generally, the component with f1 frequency is called fundamental waveform, f
is fundamental waveform frequency, A1 is fundamental waveform amplitude,
and φ1 is fundamental waveform phase. The frequencies of the other
components (called harmonics) are all integral multiples of the fundamental
waveform. Components whose frequencies are odd multiples of the
fundamental waveform frequency are called odd harmonics and components
whose frequencies are even multiples of the fundamental waveform frequency
are called even harmonics.
Press Waveforms → Sine → Harmonic and choose ―On‖, then press

waveforms. Modulating parameters vary with the types of the modulation. In
AM, users can set the source (internal/external), depth, modulating frequency,
modulating waveform and carrier. In DSB-AM, users can set the source
(internal/external), modulating frequency, modulating waveform and carrier. In
FM, users can set the source (internal/external), modulating frequency,
frequency deviation, modulating waveform and carrier. In PM, users can set
the source (internal/external), phase deviation, modulating frequency,
modulating waveform and carrier. In ASK, users can set the source
(internal/external), key frequency and carrier. In FSK, users can set the source
(internal/external), key frequency, hop frequency and carrier. In PSK, users
can set the source (internal/external), key frequency, polarity and carrier. In
PWM, users can set the source (internal/external), modulating frequency,
width/duty cycle deviation, modulating waveform and carrier.

To Select Modulation Source
The SDG1000X can accept modulating signal from an internal or external
modulation source. Press Mod → AM → Source to select ―Internal‖ or
―External‖ modulation source. The default is ―Internal‖.
1. Internal Source
When internal AM modulation source is selected, press Shape to select Sine,

Square: 50% duty cycle
Triangle: 50% symmetry
UpRamp: 100% symmetry
DnRamp: 0% symmetry
Arb: the arbitrary waveform selected of the current channel
Note:
Noise can be used as modulating waveform but cannot be used as the carrier.
2. External Source
When external AM modulation source is selected, the generator accepts
external modulating signal from the [Aux In/Out] connector at the rear panel.
At this time, the amplitude of the modulated waveform is controlled by the
signal level applied to the connector. For example, if the modulation depth is
set to 100%, the output amplitude will be the maximum when the modulating
signal is +6V and the minimum when the modulating signal is -6V.
Key Points:
The SDG1000X can use one channel as a modulating source for the other
channel. The following example takes the output signal of CH2 as the
modulating waveform.

2. Select CH1 and press Mod to select the desired modulation type as well as
set the corresponding parameters, and then select external modulation

3. Select CH2 and select the desired modulating waveform and set the
corresponding parameters.
4. Press Output to enable the output of CH1.
To Set Modulation Depth
Modulation depth expressed as a percentage indicates the amplitude variation
degree. AM modulation depth varies from 1% to 120%. Press AM Depth to set
the parameter.
In the 0% modulation, the output amplitude is the half of the carrier‘s
amplitude.
In the 120％ modulation, the output amplitude is the same with the
carrier‘s amplitude.
For an external source, the depth of AM is controlled by the voltage level
on the connector connected to the [Aux In/Out]. ±6V correspond to 100%
depth.
When external modulation source is selected, this menu is hidden.
