Modulation analyzer is used in communication systems for investigating amplitude, frequency and phase-modulated RF signals. Also referred to as a precision receiver, it can measure carrier frequency and power in addition to modulating frequency, modulation depth, frequency deviation and so forth. It is applied in testing transmitters, RF signal generators, attenuators, and other communication circuits.
