Include Droop (TEDS)

Default: Selected (See Using Standard Setups/Presets)

Droop, when selected, configures the demodulator to include droop correction in measurement calculations.

Droop is a measure of the amplitude difference between the start and end of a TDMA burst time division multiple access burst: A contiguous portion of the uplink or downlink using PHY parameters, determined by the Downlink Interval Usage Code (DIUC) or Uplink Interval Usage Code (UIUC), that remain constant for the duration of the burst. TDMA bursts are separated by preambles and are separated by gaps in transmission if subsequent bursts are from different transmitters. from an Normal Uplink, Random Access, or Control Uplink transmission and is calibrated in dB/symbol, typically in fractions, that is, mdB/symbol (millidB) or udB/symbol (microdB). The primary transmission accuracy measurement that includes droop is Error Vector Magnitude (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.). EVM provides an overall measure of the divergence between the transmitter position and the ideal phase diagram. To remove droop correction from measurement calculations, clear this checkbox.
