Resource Map (Custom OFDM)

The Resource Map parameter specify the Type of "resource" (each "used" subcarrier and symbol time) in the measurement:

Value	Resource
0	Data
1	Pilot
2	Unknown Pilot
3	Preamble
4	Zero
5	Unspecified

You can use the "Load Resource Map..." command button to load a text file containing the Resource Type Resurce Type specifies the function of the measurement subcarriers; preamble, pilot, data, All, UserN, Unknown, or Null subcarrier Values, see Load Resource Modulation....

Resource Map File

The Resource Map file The Resource Map file defines the function of each subcarrier in each symbol, describing whether it is a preamble, pilot, data or null subcarrier. defines the function of each subcarrier in each symbol, describing whether the subcarrier is a preamble, pilot, data, or null subcarrier type. The Resource Map file must contain one value for each active (i.e. non-guard) subcarrier, including the "DC" center subcarrier. Thus, the map for an 802.11a/g signal (FFT Fast Fourier Transform: A mathematical operation performed on a time-domain signal to yield the individual spectral components that constitute the signal. See Spectrum. size of 64 with 11 guard subcarriers) will contain 53 values per symbol.

If the number of pilots in the pilot values array is insufficient to populate the resource map, the pilots values are repeated to fill the remaining resource map pilot locations.
