Decode Tab (LTE-Advanced)

Menu Path: MeasSetup > LTE-Advanced Demod Properties... > Decode(CCx) tab where x specifies the component carrier

The Decode tab of the LTE-Advanced Demod Properties dialog box allows you to specify what level of channel decoding to perform as well as specify other parameters needed for information decoding for the DL Decode Info and UL Decode Info summary tables. The decoded bits are shown on the Decoded Symbol Table (uplink) and the CW 0/1 Decoded Symbol Tables (downlink).

At the top of this tab there is a set of buttons for selecting which component carrier to configure. The selected component carrier (x) is indicated by the green button and by the text "CCx" in the tab title.

There are two different versions of the Decode tab, one for downlink and one for uplink signals.
