SCPI Example

RAD:NR5G:WAV:CCAR0:CONF:FRCN "FRC: FR1A13, Bandwidth: FR1BW25M, RBOffset: 2, PhaseCompensation: AUTO, DuplexType: FDD"

Couplings

Parameters of FRC NTN and their default values are listed below.

  • FRC: FR1A12

  • Bandwidth: FR1BW100M

  • PUSCHMappingType: TYPEA

  • RBOffset: 0

  • PhaseCompensation: AUTO

  • SpecialSlot: OFF

  • DuplexType: FDD

  • SlotConfigurationPeriod: MS5

  • NumberOfDownlinkSlots: 7

  • NumberOfDownlinkSymbols: 6

  • NumberOfUplinkSlots: 2

  • NumberOfUplinkSymbols: 4

Points to remember while providing input for this SCPI command:

  • One combined string is needed as an input in this SCPI command. The format of this string is:

    • "name: value , name: value …"

  • Default value of a parameter will be used if the parameter is not provided.

  • The order of parameters in the string does not matter.

  • A parameter's name and value are case sensitive.

  • If a parameter's name is incorrect, error " -224, "Illegal parameter value; xxx is incorrect parameter name." will be generated.

  • If a parameter's type is enum and the supplied enum value is illegal, error " -224, Illegal parameter value; xxx has incorrect value." will be generated.

Choices:

Downlink: Based on the Table 5.3.2-1, 5.3.2-2, and 5.3.2-3 in 38.104

Uplink: Based on the Table 5.3.2-1 in 38.101-1 and 38.101-2

Selects the bandwidth configuration for the carrier.

FRC Type

Choices: Based on the Annex A in 38.141

Selects the FRC Type.

DMRS-add-pos

Choices: 0 | 1

Sets the UL-DMRS-add-pos for A.3, A.4 and A.5 in 38.141.

Number of Layers

Choices: 1 | 2

Sets the Number of Layers for A.3 and A.4 in 38.141.

Transform Precoding

Default: Disabled

Click the checkbox to enable (checkmarked) or disable Transform Precoding for uplink.

PUSCH Mapping Type

Choices: Type A | Type B

Default: Type A

Sets the PUSCH Mapping type for the channel.

Refer to UL FRC NTN Update for 38.181 (v18.3.0) for more information.

Reference Channel

Choices: Refer to UL FRC NTN Update for 38.181 (v18.3.0) for more information.

Selects the Reference Channel based on the FRC Type.

Duplex Type

Choices: TDD | FDD

Selects the duplex type.

When TDD is selected, several TDD parameters appear below. These TDD parameters are reset to default values whenever numerology changes or FR changes. (The default values are different for each numerology.)

Transmission Periodicity

Sets the periodicity of DL-UL pattern. The choices are related to numerology.

Read-only.

Number of Downlink Slots

Sets the number of consecutive full DL slots at the beginning of each DL-UL pattern. The range is related to the numerology and slot configuration period.

Read-only.

Number of Downlink Symbols

Range: 0 ~ 14 for Normal CP; 0 ~ 12 for Extended CP

Sets the number of consecutive DL symbols in the beginning of the slot following the last full DL slot.

Read-only.

Number of Uplink Slots

Sets the number of consecutive full UL slots at the end of each DL-UL pattern. The range is related to the numerology and slot configuration period.

Read-only.

Number of Uplink Symbols

Range: 0 ~ 14 for Normal CP; 0 ~ 12 for Extended CP

Sets the number of consecutive UL symbols in the end of the slot preceding the first full UL slot.

Read-only.

Number of Special Slots

Displays the number of special slots.

Read-only.

TDD Slot Allocation

Displays the TDD slot allocation for one period.

Read-only.

Special Slot

Click the checkbox to enable (checkmarked) or disable the Special Slot.

Only appears when Duplex Type is set to TDD.

RB Offset

Choices: Based on the Annex A in 38.141.

"RB Offset" will be shown as "Interlace Index (N)" for NR-U cases (G-FR1-A1-12...19 and G-FR1-A2-8...14).

Phase Compensation

Choices: Auto | Manual | Off

Default: Auto

Set the phase compensation mode on the baseband signal before upconversion.

Phase compensation is not applicable for PRACH carrier.

Auto: Use the RF frequency from the instrument node.

Manual: Enter the RF frequency manually.

Off: Disable phase compensation on baseband signal.
