PDF (Custom OFDM)

PDF trace data displays the Probability Density Function of the selected channel. PDF 1) Probability Density Function Trace Data, or 2) Portable Document Format (PDF) created by Adobe Systems is an open standard for document exchange. indicates the probability that a given level has occurred.

The PDF is computed from the segment of the 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. burst specified by the Measurement Interval and Measurement Offset. In addition, if the Offset is zero and the Interval is equal to the result length, the burst preamble is included in the PDF.

See the Reference PDF trace (Reference) topic for more detailed information about this trace data.
