EVM Window Length (LTE-Advanced)

will set according to theA CP length for Extended CP on a 20 MHz signal.
EVM window length can also be specified in the range of 1-512 samples. A value of 512 samples corresponds to the entireThe standard states that the EVM for an LTE signal's subcarriers should be taken from the higher of the two EVM RMS averages calculated from the FFTs taken from the start and from the end of the EVM window. For example, an FFT with the higher EVM RMS average. However, the location of the symbol FFT used for EVM calculations can be set specifically using the Symbol Timing Adjust parameter.
of 3 samples means that two FFTs would be taken. The starting points of the FFTs would be on the samples adjacent to the center sample of the CP. The EVMs for the subcarriers would come from theA value of 1 sample will cause the EVM to be measured from an FFT taken from the center of the cyclic prefix, since any further FFTs would have to be taken over the same sample points.
Symbol Timing Adjust is set to or since these settings cause only one FFT to be taken starting from the specified location within the cyclic prefix regardless of the setting.
