CRS Antenna Configuration

Selects whether Number of CRS Antenna Ports and CRS Antenna Port are set automatically by the software (Auto) or manually by the user (Manual).

SCPI Command

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:APORt:CONFig AUTO|MANual

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:APORt:CONFig?

SCPI Example

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:APORt:CONFig AUTO

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:APORt:CONFig?

Notes

When Auto, Number of CRS Antenna Ports and CRS Antenna Port are read only.

Dependencies

Controls read/write state of Number of CRS Antenna Ports and CRS Antenna Port.

Preset

AUTO

State Saved

Yes

Initial S/W Revision

A.20.01

Number of CRS Antenna Ports

Sets the number of antenna ports used for CRS transmission.

When CRS Antenna Configuration is Auto, this setting is set automatically based on Total Number of Antennas.

SCPI Command

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:APORt:COUNt P1|P2|P4

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:APORt:COUNt?

SCPI Example

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:APORt:COUNt P1

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:APORt:COUNt?

Notes

Read-only when CRS Antenna Configuration is Auto. Must be equal to or less than Total Number of Antennas.

Couplings

Controlled by CRS Antenna Configuration.

Controls the available CRS Antenna Port selections.

Preset

P1

State Saved

Yes

Initial S/W Revision

A.20.01

CRS Antenna Port

Sets the virtual antenna port used for CRS transmission.

When CRS Antenna Configuration is Auto, this is set to Antenna Port mod Number of CRS Antenna Ports.

See 3GPP TS 36.211.

SCPI Command

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:APORt P0|P1|P2|P3

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:APORt?

SCPI Example

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:APORt P0

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:APORt?

Notes

Read-only when CRS Antenna Configuration is Auto.

Auto value = Antenna Port mod Number of CRS Antenna Ports.

Couplings

Controlled by CRS Antenna Configuration.

Available port selections depend on Number of CRS Antenna Ports.

Preset

P0

State Saved

Yes

Initial S/W Revision

A.20.01

PDSCH Cell-Specific Ratio

Sets the ratio of PDSCH EPRE to CRS EPRE (rho_B/rho_A).

See 3GPP TS 36.213 Table 5.2-2.

SCPI Command

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:PDSCh:RATio PBPa1|PB0|PB1|PB2|PB3

[:SOURce]:RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform[:ARB]:CCARrier<channel>:DL:CRS:PDSCh:RATio?

SCPI Example

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:PDSCh:RATio PBPa1

RADio:LTETdd:WAVeform:CCARrier:DL:CRS:PDSCh:RATio?

Notes

Sets the ratio of PDSCH EPRE to CRS EPRE (rho_B/rho_A).
