DC Punctured

When DC Punctured is enabled, the DC subcarrier is excluded from the generated signal.

In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signal, the subcarrier whose frequency would be equal to the RF center frequency of the station is referred to as the DC subcarrier.

For uplink carrier with Transform Precoding enabled for UL-SCH, DC Punctured is forced to Off.

Window Beta

Sets the windowing length to smooth OFDM symbol transitions. The value is similar to a fraction of FFT length instead of a percentage.

Only available when Carrier Type is a downlink or uplink.

Centered at Symbol Boundary specifies that the window is applied with its center at the boundary between two orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.

Starting at Symbol Boundary specifies that the window is applied with its starting position at the boundary between two OFDM symbols.

Baseband Filter

Enables or disables the baseband filter.

The filter is applied to each numerology of this carrier. It is a low-pass or band-pass FIR filter with hamming window. The central frequency and bandwidth of this filter depend on the resource allocation of each numerology.

Taps: 1024

Band margin: 1 RB for each side

Only available when the carrier type is a downlink or uplink. Not applicable for PRACH.

It is recommended to enable baseband filter to achieve a balance between ACPR and EVM performance.
