Eq Chan Freq Resp (LTE)

Eq Chan Freq Resp shows the channel frequency response calculated from the reference signal (C-RS Cell-specific RS for downlink and DM-RS DeModulation Reference Signal (LTE) for uplink) using the time data in the Search Time trace (capture length primarily determined by Result Length).

For downlink signals, Eq Chan Freq Resp is calculated from the reference C-RS/Rx path (determined by the reference measurement channel and the reference C-RS port). To view the equalization frequency response for all C-RS/Rx paths simultaneously, see MIMO Eq Chan Freq Resp.

The Equalizer Training settings determine data that is shown on the Eq Chan Freq Resp trace. When Equalizer Training is set to Off, the Eq Chan Freq Resp trace will show a flat line indicating that no equalization is performed. When Equalizer Training is set to RS, the Eq Chan Freq Resp trace will show the equalization frequency response calculated from the reference signal. When RS+Data is selected, the Eq Chan Freq Resp trace will show the equalization frequency response calculated from the reference signal and the data subcarriers (PDSCH Physical Downlink Shared Channel for downlink and PUSCH Physical Uplink Shared Channel for uplink). Also, the moving average filter setting affects the equalizer frequency response and thus affects the Eq Chan Freq Resp trace as well.

This trace is always calculated from an 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. symbol 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. taken from the center of the cyclic prefix. This is different from most Demod Trace Data and Layer Trace Data, which use the Symbol Timing Adjust parameter to determine the location of the symbol FFT. See the Symbol Timing Adjust topic for more information.

This trace is affected by Averaging.

The Equalizer Training parameter determines whether the equalization is applied to the signal.

Eq Chan Freq Resp can be used to view the frequency response of the transmitter's filters when the transmitter is connected directly to the measurement hardware.

Eq Chan Freq Resp is affected by the Normalize Chan. Freq. Resp. parameter. Eq Chan Freq Resp is always shown with an average per-subcarrier power gain of 0 dB. When the Normalize Chan. Freq. Resp. is selected any phase, frequency, or timing offset in the channel frequency response is removed. When Normalize Chan. Freq. Resp. is cleared, any phase, frequency, or timing offset present in the channel frequency response is not removed.
