52 Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators User’s GuideModes of Operation for All ModelsModes of OperationModes of OperationContinuous Wave (CW) ModeIn this mode, the signal generator produces a continuous wave (CW) signal. The signal generator isset to a single frequency and power level. Both the analog and RF vector models can produce a CWsignal. To learn more, refer to “Setting Frequency and Amplitude with FREQ and AMPTD Keys” onpage 59.Swept Signal ModeIn this mode, the signal generator sweeps over a range of frequencies and/or power levels. Both theanalog and RF vector models provide step sweep and list sweep functionality.To learn more, refer to “Using Swept Signal Mode (Configuring a Swept Output)” on page 62.Analog Modulation Mode (AM, FM, ΦM, and Pulse)In this mode, the signal generator modulates a CW signal with an analog signal. The analogmodulation types available depend on the installed options.— Option UNT provides AM, FM, and ΦM modulations. Some of these modulations can be usedtogether.— Option UNW Narrow Pulse Modulation provides standard and narrow pulse modulationcapability.— Option 303 Multifunction Generator consists of seven waveform generators.To learn more, refer to “Using Analog Modulation on the RF Carrier Signal (Option UNT)” onpage 70.The Mod On/Off key and LED functionality are only valid for instrumentswith Option UNT installed.Refer to “14. Mod On/Off and LED” on page 18.
