Reference NRS Port (NB-IoT)

Default: Cleared

Choices: Cleared or Selected and Port 2000, Port 2001 depending on the Number of NRS Ports

Reference NRS Port determines which NRS/Rx path to use for synchronization and initial equalization and to show on certain non-MIMO Multiple Input, Multiple Output: A physical layer (PHY) configuration in which both transmitter and receiver use multiple antennas. traces (listed below).

When Reference NRS Port is cleared, the demodulator searches the reference measurement channel for the strongest NRS antenna port signal and uses that NRS port as the reference.

When Reference NRS Port is selected and set to Port (x), antenna port (x) is used as the reference.

NRS metrics for other NRS/Rx paths are expressed relative to the NRS metrics for the reference NRS/Rx path. For example, when NRS port 0 is selected, the NRS0/Rx0 section of the MIMO Info Table will show 0 dB for RSPwr and the other NRS/Rx paths' RSPwr will be expressed in dB relative to this 0 dB point.

The Reference NRS Port parameter determines which NRS/Rx path results are shown on the following traces:

To view information for all detected NRS antenna ports, use the MIMO traces (Trace > Data > MIMO).
