This female BNC connector is provided only on signal generators with Option 001 or 002. If
you configure your signal generator with Option 1EM, this output is relocated from a BNC to
an SMB connector.
7. COH CARRIER Output Connector
The coherent carrier connector outputs RF that is not modulated with AM, pulse, or I/Q
modulation, but is modulated with FM or
ΦM. The output power is nominally –2 dBm ±5 dB.
The output frequency range is from 249.99900001 MHz to the maximum specified frequency
of your signal generator. If the RF output frequency is below this range, the coherent carrier
output signal will have the following frequency: Frequency of coherent
carrier = (1E9
− Frequency of RF output) in Hz. The damage levels are 20 Vdc and 13 dBm
reverse RF power.
8. Q OUT Connector
The Q OUT connector outputs the analog, quadrature-phase component of I/Q modulation
from the internal baseband generator. The nominal output impedance of this connector is 50
Ω,
DC-coupled. The damage levels are > +2 V and <
−2 V. The DC origin offset is typically
< 10 mV. The output signal levels into a 50
Ω load are as follows:
• 0.5 V
pk
, typical, corresponds to one unit length of the I/Q vector.
•0.69 V

•0.71 V

alpha = 0.35.
• Typically 1 V
