Symbol Gate Length (MB-OFDM)

Default: 160 clocks (See MB-OFDM Standard Setups/Presets Table.)

Range: 128 - 165 clocks

Symbol Gate Length determines the length of the symbol gate for each symbol in a particular band thus defining the end of the time gate relative to the end of the 128 IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transform samples of that symbol. This is an alternative to the Post-Symbol Time entry for test specification where the starting point varies but the symbol gate length needs to remain constant. When the Symbol Gate Length is set, changing the Pre-Symbol Time will change the Post-Symbol Time in order to leave the Symbol Gate Length the same. Changing the Post-Symbol Time will change the Symbol Gate Length, and vice versa, keeping the Pre-Symbol Time constant. See Pre-Symbol Time and Post-Symbol Time for more information.
