N7613A Signal Studio for 802.16-2004 (WiMAX™)
Technical Overview

 

 

Create WiMAX waveforms with ease

Signal Studio for 802.16-2004 enables you to easily create WiMAX waveforms that comply with the 256-carrier OFDM physical layer specified in the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard. The software’s intuitive graphical interface provides convenient access to the physical layer parameters, coding parameters, and basic MAC layer parameters, providing the versatility you need to configure waveforms for both component and receiver testing. Download your WiMAX waveform files to the E4438C ESG, E8267D PSG, N5162A MXG ATE, or N5182A MXG vector signal generator for playback.

 

Free 14-Day Trial

 

Download the software today to investigate the signal creation capability and generate test signals using a free 14- day trial license. After the trial license expires, each vector signal generator must be licensed separately to playback waveforms created by the software. For more information, visit:

Additional Information

Key Features

  • Flexible signal parameters, including bandwidth, cyclic prefix ratio (G), sampling factor (n), frame length, and TDD downlink/uplink ratio

  • Up to 16 frames of the same configuration with incrementing frame numbers and continuous data in MAC PDU

  • Downlink and uplink frames with preamble, FCH, and data bursts

  • Different coding and modulation types/rates for each data burst (BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, or 64QAM)

  • Various payload data types: fixed data patterns, PN9 or PN15 sequences, or user data files

  • Raw or fully coded data (with randomization, RS convolutional coding, and interleaving)

  • Frame configuration modes designed for component test and receiver test
