Modulation Scheme (GSM/EDGE/EDGE Evolution)

Default: Automatic

Modulation Scheme specifies the modulation scheme of the current burst. The Modulation Scheme can be either Automatic or Manual.

When Automatic is selected, the VSA will demodulate the first Timeslot matching the TSC Index and Timeslot parameters and auto-detect the modulation scheme of that Timeslot.

To include AQPSK modulation in auto-detection, select the Also Auto-detect AQPSK parameter.

For AQPSK, the manual TSC Index parameter specifies the TSC index for subchannel A.

When Manual is selected, the VSA will demodulate the first Timeslot matching the specified Modulation Scheme, TSC Index, and Timeslot parameters.

The following are Modulation Scheme choices when Manual is selected:

Not all modulation schemes are applicable for every Burst Type. Modulation schemes that are not applicable to the current Burst Type will not be able to be selected.

Discard Non-matching Slots

When Discard Non-matching Slots is selected and Timeslot is set to Auto Select, all timeslots are searched for a burst which has selected modulation scheme.

Whenthe Discard Non-matching Slots check box is cleared, the VSA assumes that the Timeslot being demodulated uses the specified modulation scheme. This will result in large errors when the Timeslot does not actually use the specified modulation scheme.

Discard Non-matching Slots only applies when Timeslot is set to Auto Select.
