R&S FSQ Signal Analyzer - Rohde & Schwarz

R&S FSQ Remote Control – Programming Examples
7.3.1.4 Measuring the AM Modulation Depth
More Complex Programming Examples
The example below is based on an AM-modulated signal at 100 MHz with the following
characteristics:
• Carrier signal level: –30 dBm
• AF frequency: 100 kHz
• Modulation depth: 50%
The default setting of the R&S FSQ can be used for the measurements described
below (SetupInstrument).
