External 1 input This BNC input connector accepts a ±1 V
peak
signal for
AM, FM, pulse, burst, and phase modulation. For all
these modulations, ±1 V
peak
produces the indicated
deviation or depth. When ac-coupled inputs are selected
for AM, FM, or phase modulation and the peak input
voltage differs from 1 V
peak
by more than 3%, the hi/lo
annunciator light on the display. The input impedance is
50 ohms and the damage levels are 5 V
rms
and 10 V
peak
.
If you configure your signal generator with Option 1EM,
this input is relocated to a female BNC connector on the
rear panel.
External 2 input This BNC input connector accepts a ±1 V
peak
signal for
AM, FM, phase modulation, and pulse modulation. With
AM, FM, or phase modulation, ±1 V
peak
produces the
indicated deviation or depth. With pulse modulation,
+1 V is on and 0 V is off. When ac-coupled inputs are
selected for AM, FM, or phase modulation, and the peak
voltage differs from 1 V
peak
by more than 3%, the hi/lo
annunciator light on the display. The input impedance is
50 ohms and the damage levels are 5 V
rms
and 10 V
peak
.
If you configure your signal generator with Option 1EM,
this input is relocated to a female BNC connector on the
rear panel.
GPIB Allows communication with compatible devices.

I input Accepts an I input either for I/Q modulation or for
wideband AM. Nominal input impedance 50 or 600 ohms.
Damage levels are 1 V
rms
and 10 V
peak
. [BNC, front panel]
I out and Q out

The I out and Q out connectors output the analog
components of I/Q modulation from the internal
baseband generator. The nominal output impedance of
these connectors are 50 , DC-coupled. The damage
levels are > +3.5 V and < –3.5 V. The output signal levels
into a 50 load are as follows:
(O.5 V
peak
,), corresponds to one unit length of
the I/Q vector.
(0.7 V
peak
), for peaks for p/4 DQPSK.
(1.6 V
p-p
) maximum [Options 601, 602, 001, 002 only].
These female BNC connectors are provided on signal
generators with Option 601 or 602. On signal generators
with Option 1EM, these inputs are relocated to rear
panel SMB connectors.
