Decode Tab (5G NR/5G-Advanced)

The Decode tab of the 5G NR/5G-Advanced Demod Properties dialog box lets you configure the decoding type, depending on the DL Down Link (forward link: from base station to cell phone)-BWP/UL Up Link (reverse link: from cell phone to base station)-BWP selection. For downlink (DL-BWP), you can decode the PBCH, PDCCH and PDSCH Physical Downlink Shared Channel. For uplink (UL-BWP), you can decode the PUCCH and PUSCH. For PDSCH and PUSCH, you can also select the decoding algorithm. The decoding results are shown in the Decoded Info and Decoded Symbols traces. CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check pass/fail results are also shown in the Slot Summary trace.

Depending on the complexity and length of the 5G NR/5G-Advanced signal, enabling decoding may affect the performance of your measurement. The following is recommended for improved speed when decoding is enabled:

PC with at least 4 cores
Decreased Measurement Interval

The Decode tab has the following parameters and selections:
