Which measurement uses the trapezoidal pattern on an oscilloscope?

  • A.The carrier frequency
  • B.The transmitter's harmonic distortion at the fundamental
  • C.The receiver's noise figure
  • D.The modulation index and its linearity

Answer: D

Displaying the modulated envelope against the modulating signal gives a trapezoid whose end dimensions yield the index, while any curvature of its sides reveals modulation non-linearity. It is a standard transmitter bench check and is more informative than the plain envelope display. Carrier frequency needs a counter. Harmonic distortion is measured with a spectrum analyser or distortion meter. And noise figure is a receiver measurement requiring a noise source.
