Pulse Search (802.16 OFDM)

Default: Selected (See 802.16 OFDM Standard Setups/Presets Table.)

Pulse Search is used to demodulate 802.16 OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: OFDM employs multiple overlapping radio frequency carriers, each operating at a carefully chosen frequency that is Orthogonal to the others, to produce a transmission scheme that supports higher bit rates due to parallel channel operation. OFDM is an alternative tranmission scheme to DSSS and FHSS. signals that do not exhibit RF Radio Frequency: A generic term for radio-based technologies, operating between the Low Frequency range (30k Hz) and the Extra High Frequency range (300 GHz). Burst characteristics.

Selected: Used to demodulate 802.16 OFDM signals that have RF burst characteristics

Cleared: Used to demodulate 802.16 OFDM signals that do not exhibit RF burst characteristics but seem to be continually on.

Some 802.16 OFDM signals do not have RF burst characteristics, rather they look like a series of bursts with no 'off' time between them. These signals resemble a continually-on signal with embedded preambles. To demodulate signals that do not appear to be made up of RF bursts, clear Pulse Search.
