5.25 Data Modulation Mode
Introduction
The data modulation mode will digitally modulate a binary message of up to 960 bits (60 words) in length. Data is
digitally modulated using FSK modulation at an adjustable baud rate. The mark and space frequencies may be
independently specified from 0 Hz to 21.5 MHz with 0.01 Hz resolution. The baud rate is adjustable from 0 Hz to
130 KHz in 1 Hz steps. By specifying a Mark or Space frequency of 0 Hz, 100% digital AM modulation may also
be done.
Data Modulation mode operates in a triggered burst mode. The Data Modulation mode starts by setting the output
frequency to 0 Hz and awaiting a trigger condition. When a trigger condition occurs, the 4070A examines the first
data bit of the binary message and sets the output frequency to the Mark frequency if the bit is a 1 or to the Space
frequency if the bit is a 0. The output is held at that frequency for a period of time specified by the Baud rate field.
After that, the next bit of the modulation message is processed and so on until all bits have been modulated. After
the last bit has been modulated, the 4070A resets the output frequency to 0 Hz and awaits another trigger condition.

Using the Data Modulation Mode
To use the Data Modulation mode, you must do the following:
1. Switch the 4070A to Internal FSK mode by Mode, 5, 1 key combination
2. Enter the Baud rate, Mark & Space frequencies and output level on the front panel.
3. Download your data message to the 4070A through the serial port. (see below)
4. Trigger the transmission (see below)
5. Optionally store the instrument setup and message to nonvolatile memory.

2. Mark Frequency
When the modulation data bit is a 1, the output is set to the Mark frequency. You may enter a frequency from 0 Hz
(DC) to 21.5 MHz in 0.01 Hz steps.

3. Space Frequency
When the modulation data bit is a 0, the output is set to the Space frequency. You may enter a frequency from 0

Hz (DC) to 21.5 MHz in .01 Hz steps.
4. Data
This word appears when a valid modulation data message has been downloaded t o the 4070A. Without a valid
data message, the word “Data” does not appear and the 4070A operates in regular Internal FSK mode.
