Sample Rate

It is automatically calculated to meet the requirement of waveform settings.

Before Boxer A.03.00, the auto sample rate meets two principles:

In Boxer A.03.00 the approach of calculating auto sample rate is changed to solve the above issue as below description.

If carrier’s frequencyOffset is 0, then minimum carrier bandwidth = configured bandwidth * 1.23

If carrier’s frequencyOffset is not 0, then minimum carrier bandwidth = (configured bandwidth + Abs(carrier’s frequency offset)*2) * 1.23

Auto sample rate calculation:

For example if  Bandwidth of carrier is changed to FR2 400M and Frequency Offset of carrier is 20MHz, then the sample rate being calculated is 122.88 * 5 = 614.4 MHz to meet the requirement that it must be greater than minimum sample rate (1.23*380.16 + 20*2 =507.6 MHz)

Carrier

In default only one carrier with SideLink type is present. User can add more carriers until carrier count does not exceed 32 or delete carrier until carrier count is less than 1.

When deleting carrier is executed re-index will be done for all the left carriers.

Index/Cardinality of carriers starts from 0, so valid index or cardinality range is from 0 to the carrier count minus 1. User should NOT try to access carriers which do not exist. 

Add Carrier

This setting adds a new Carrier into waveform.
