Hello all,
I was doing an alignment in a FM radio, your standard 88MHz-108MHz receiver. I completed the alignment but then thought I would see what a S-Curve looked like. I am injecting the FM signal into the base of a transistor (have a capacitor in series) that feeds a ratio detector tuned to the 10.7MHZ IF. I know I need two frequencies to view the curve in XY mode. Anyone know what the signals are:
Do I modulate the 10.7MHz IF or sweep it?
Where does the second signal go for XY?
Any reference or help would be appreciated.

Are you using a sweep RF generator?
