E4438C Option H13 Signal Studio for WiMAX
Software Information
Summary of Key Features
• Select WiMAX signal parameters including bandwidth, cyclic prefix ratio (G), sampling
factor (n) and frame length as allowed by the standard.
• Configure downlink or uplink frames.
• Each frame may contain a preamble, FCH with predefined data patterns or user file
data and one or more data bursts, each with its own modulation type (BPSK, QPSK,
16QSM, or 64QAM). Note: Broadcast messages such as DL-MAP, UL-MAP, UCD and
DCD are NOT provided in this software. However, they may be included as a user data
file in the first burst following the FCH.
• Choose raw data or fully coded data (with randomization, Reed-Solomon convolutional
coding and interleaving).
• Choice of payload data types: fixed data patterns, PN9 or PN15 sequences, or user data
file.
• Create MAC PDUs including headers and CRC.
• Display of frame layout and waveform characteristics such as CCDF curves, I/Q signals,
baseband spectrum.
• Remote configuration of basic ESG signal generator settings.
• 10BaseT LAN and GPIB connectivity.
NOTE The online help system has NOT been implemented in the special release
version of the Signal Studio for WiMAX software. Please refer to this User's
Guide for help in using the software.
