Mathcad is a registered trademark of MathSoft, Inc., 201 Broadway, Cambridge MA 02139.

Overview

The Mathcad examples described in this chapter are in the mathcad directory. From within Mathcad, you

can read and/or print the files in that directory for more detailed information about these examples.

The mathcad directory contains several example Mathcad 4.0 files that demonstrate how to create

waveforms and filters for use with the HP89410A and HP89440A (including option AYA). Although

designed for use with the HP894x0A, the general approach to using Mathcad data with SDF is similar for

all instruments incorporating SDF capability.

Each of the following files is described briefly below:

• mathcad\signals\ofstsine.mcd

• mathcad\signals\gmsk.mcd

• mathcad\signals\qpsk.mcd

• mathcad\filters\gauss.mcd

• mathcad\filters\raiscos.mcd

• mathcad\filters\rootcos.mcd

Mathcad Files

mathcad\signals\ofstsine.mcd

This file contains an example of how to create a waveform that can be used with the HP894x0A arbitrary

source. The complex waveform (that is, real and imaginary components) is a simple sinewave that can be

offset from the center frequency of the measurement.

mathcad\signals\gmsk.mcd

This file contains an example of how to create a pulsed Gaussian MSK waveform for use with the

HP894x0A arbitrary source. In addition to being pulsed, the signal can be modified to have imperfections

such as IQ gain imbalance and origin offset.
