SCPI Example

RAD:NR5G:WAV:CCAR0:CONF:DFRC "Bandwidth:FR1BW25M,Numerology:MU1,DuplexType:TDD,DLFRCType:QAM64,OCNG:ON,PhaseCompensation:AUTO"

Couplings

DL FRC configuration parameters and their default values are listed below:

Bandwidth: FR1BW100M,

Numerology: MU1,

DuplexType: TDD,

DLFRCType: QPSK ,

OCNG: OFF,

PhaseCompensation: AUTO.

One combined string is needed to be inputted in SCPI command. The format of it is  "name: value , name: value …" .  Default value will be used if parameter is not provided.

The order of parameters does not matter. Parameter's name and value are case sensitive.

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

If Bandwidth is set to FR1BW70M, error "-224, Illegal parameter value; There is no downlink FRC defined for FR1 70MHz bandwidth." will be generated.

If Bandwidth is set to FR1BW90M while Duplex Type is not FDD and DLFRCType is not QPSK, then error "-224, Illegal parameter value; There is no downlink FRC defined for FR1 90MHz bandwidth except for FDD QPSK mode." will be generated.

Bandwidth

Choices:

Downlink: Based on the Table 5.3.2-1 and 5.3.2-2 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.

Numerology

Selects the numerology of the configuration. The choices are related to the selected bandwidth.

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.

FRC Type

Choices: FRC for receiver requirements for QPSK | FRC for maximum input level for 64QAM | FRC for maximum input level for 256QAM

Default: FRC for receiver requirements for QPSK

Selects the downlink FRC type.

OFDMA Channel Noise Generator

Choices: On | Off

Default: Off

Click the checkbox to enable (checkmarked) or disable the OFDMA channel noise generator when setting downlink FRC.

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.
