About 6GR Modulation Analysis

The 6GR Modulation Analysis extension (89601B6GC) is a dedicated 89600 VSA measurement for analyzing signals built to emerging 6G study-item specifications. It gives equipment designers and researchers a way to demodulate and evaluate prototype 6G waveforms aligned to the current 6G study-item baseline.

6GR Modulation Analysis is a standalone measurement application with its own license (89601B6GC). It is not an extension or option of 5G NR modulation analysis and does not require a 5G NR license.

The 6GR demodulator provides:

A frame structure aligned to the 6G study item
CP 1) Contention period, or 2) Cyclic prefix-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. analysis for downlink and uplink signals, and DFT discrete Fourier transform-s-OFDM analysis for uplink signals
Downlink and uplink modulation formats
Baseline physical channel and signal structures aligned with 6GR study items

To analyze a signal, select the demodulator (see Selecting 6GR Modulation Analysis) and then either configure the signal by hand in the 6GR Modulation Analysis Properties dialog box, or import a KSD signal-definition file exported from PathWave Signal Generation (PWSG) — see Preset to Standard and Signal Definition Import/Export. Importing a signal definition is the fastest way to match the measurement to a known signal, and the getting-started demo walks through it.
