Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets the type of spatial mapping matrix used by the transmitter.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public MustOverride Property SpatialMappingMatrixSelection As SpatialMappingMatrixSelection
C# 
public abstract SpatialMappingMatrixSelection SpatialMappingMatrixSelection {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
public:
abstract property SpatialMappingMatrixSelection SpatialMappingMatrixSelection {
   SpatialMappingMatrixSelection get();
   void set (    SpatialMappingMatrixSelection value);
}

Property Value

The default value is SpatialMappingMatrixSelection.Automatic.

Remarks

This matrix is sometimes called "Q" in the IEEE 802.11n/ac standards. This property lets you specify what type of matrix is used by the transmitter. A value of SpatialMappingMatrixSelection.DirectMap means that an identity matrix is used, so each transmit antenna transmits a single space-time stream.

A value of SpatialMappingMatrixSelection.Fourier means that a Fourier matrix is used. This mixes all space-time streams onto all antennas. For 2 channels, the matrix is [sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2; sqrt(2)/2, -sqrt(2)/2]. For 3 channels, the matrix is [1/sqrt(3), 1/sqrt(3), 1/sqrt(3); 1/sqrt(3), -0.5/sqrt(3)+j0.5, -0.5/sqrt(3)-j0.5; 1/sqrt(3), -0.5/sqrt(3)-j0.5, -0.5/sqrt(3)+j0.5]. For 4 channels, the matrix is [0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5; 0.5, j0.5, -0.5, -j0.5; 0.5, -0.5, 0.5, -0.5; 0.5, -j0.5, -0.5, j0.5].

A value of SpatialMappingMatrixSelection.Automatic means that the analyzer will attempt to auto-detect the spatial mapping matrix. However, this is not supported for HT-Greenfield signals, so an identity matrix (direct map) is used for these signals.
