Mirror Frequency Spectrum (802.16 OFDM)

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

Mirror Frequency Spectrum specifies whether to do frequency inversion before attempting to synchronize to and demodulate the signal. This parameter correctly demodulates frequency spectrums that are mirrored (flipped) about the center frequency. The default frequency spectrum is not mirrored. This parameter does not change the displayed pre-demod spectrum trace data.

Cleared: Does not mirror the frequency spectrum.

Selected: Mirrors the frequency spectrum about the VSA center frequency.

The display of the spectrum data will not change with this parameter. To mirror the display, clear the Mirror Frequency Spectrum check box here and select MeasSetup > Frequency tab > Mirror Frequency check box.

External Down Converter

When using an external down converter, specify the User Correction Spectrum "Normal" parameter and make sure the "Mirror Spectrum" parameter is not selected (Input > User Correction > Spectrum > "Normal") and use the Mirror Frequency parameter in the MeasSetup Frequency dialog box instead (MeasSetup > Frequency > Mirror Frequency).
