Channel Summary (5G NR/5G-Advanced)

There are two types of traces in the Trace > Data > Demod and MIMO Multiple Input, Multiple Output: A physical layer (PHY) configuration in which both transmitter and receiver use multiple antennas. menus that display component carrier data: CCn (component carrier is fixed), and Selected Display CC (component carrier is dynamically selected using the Display parameter). See About Per-Carrier Trace Types for more information.

The Channel Summary trace shows the per-channel summary data for channels under the Input & Antenna tab.

Channel Summary is a type of Matrix Table that provides selectable column visibility and copy/paste and export functionality to share rows of content or complete tables to applications like email, text editing or spreadsheet programs.

Ch Ref. Ch Channel Power (dBm deciBels referenced to a milliWatt: dB relative to 1 milliwatt dissipated in the nominal input impedance of the analyzer) Rel. Power (dBm) EVM Error vector magnitude (EVM): A quality metric in digital communication systems. See the EVM metric in the Error Summary Table topic in each demodulator for more information on how EVM is calculated for that modulation format. (%rms) Time-Offset (sec) TAE (sec) Freq Error (Hz) Clock Error (ppm)

Ch is the input channel. The input channel that is used as the Reference Channel will have "(Ref)" appended after the channel number.

Ref. Ch is the selected Reference Channel.

Channel Power is the per-channel measurement power.

Rel. Power is the per-channel power relative to the Reference Channel.

EVM is the per-channel RMS EVM.

The Report EVM in dB parameter affects the units of this data result.

Time Offset is the offset to the Analysis Start Boundary and is expressed relative to the trigger t=0 point when Trigger Delay = 0 sec. When Trigger Delay is non-zero, then Trigger Delay will be subtracted from the Time Offset value.

TAE (Time Alignment Error) is the measure of channel delay in seconds relative to the Reference Channel.

Freq. Offset is the per-channel frequency error.

Clock Error is the per-channel clock error.
