I used one of these new osc for a ham Training course. It did loads of useful
demos except a distored AM signal, so I could not easily show over modulation.
(swapping the sine modulation for a trapeziam wavform will work)

SPEC
Mains 2 pole figure 2, 100-260V 10W SMPSU gives +5 & +/-12V
Both osc DC-60MHz in mHz! 1uV-20Vp-p unloaded, 50ê BNC
32 wave shapes are pre programmed, & 32 more Arbitrary possable.
DC offsets 1mV-10V on some freq ranges.
Phases can be set to 0.1 deg accuracy between osc/sync O/P.
Modulation Osc2 modulates Osc1, in AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, PSK, Pulse, Burst.
Frequency sweeps of Osc1 possable in linear & log etc.
Counter mode needs 1.5-5V input reads up to 100MHz. +/- 20ppm.
Colour Display show selected menu [1-5] params & an O/P mode graphic.
CALIBRATION
Frequency accuracy is poor both as a signal gen & counter, but modulation
accuracy all spot on by DDS design.
Modulations are in peak-peak value, so some maths needed for the real value.
For FM Dev enter 2x for P-P Value. For PM use Rad x2 x57ø for P-P deg to 360.
For AM modulation has been wrongly referenced from the peak value not the mean,
so 66% is actually 50% AM depth, 0 & 100% are OK, & 200% gives double side band
no carrier! A useful 2 tone test signal!
IN USE
Not so easy to set up, as 8 digit used for most params. Pressing Adj knob in
give range scale change (Hz kHz MHz etc). Changing the frequency manually gives
noisy results as the CPU commands to the DDS upset the output. And like all
computer controlled signal sources there is some low level VHF RFI from the CPU
visable on a good spectrum analyser, and you can see the varous DDS system
mirror images as your change RF freq etc.
The 2 locked phase & level adjustable sources are a good way of testing noise#
null steerer canceller units.
RFI
Inside there is a tiny SMPSU with just fuse & small a balanced choke before the
bridge rectifier & 10uF 350V of DC smoothing. I put in another balanced choke &
a u1 (from a scrap SMPSU) soldered to the mains socket to give better than 20dB
further QRM supression.
See my tech Buls on "Syston Donner 115 Pulse Gen", "198kHz Off Air Standard",
"Comparing Off Air Freq Standards", "Off Air Lock for Ref Osc"."Scope RF Trick"
& "Marconi 2019A Sig Gen".
Why don't U send an interesting bul?
