Descriptions
This example shows a double sideband (DSB) amplitude modulated
waveform with a modulation factor of 0.5. The modulating signal is a
cosine wave.
Settings
Waveform points: 32000, Clock frequency: 128 MHz,

Table D-11: Frequency modulation
File name FM.WFM Made with equation editor
Equation
clock = 819.2e6
size = 32768
k0 = 25e3 ’modulation frequency
k1 = 100e6 ’carrier frequency
b = 60.12e3 ’frequency deviation
“fm.wfm” = sin(2 * pi * k1 * time + b / k0 * sin(2 * pi * k0 * time))
Descriptions
k0 is the frequency of the cosine wave that is used to modulate a sine
wave of frequency k1. To assure that the phases match when this
waveform is iterated, the carrier frequency times the modulating
signal period is set to be an integer. The modulation index is given
by k2/k0.
