Use the drop-down menu to select a default or standards-based fading model. The standard models cover SISO propagation environments that allow you to test whether your device meets the performance requirements as defined by the respective standard. The software automatically populates the path configurations for the selected standard model.

Click the links below to see the SCPI syntax for executing the various SISO fading models. The syntax for each fading model appears in the exact same order (top to bottom) as the software's GUI, allowing you to compare and confirm you have the correct syntax for the fading model you want to execute.
Default: 1.0 GHz
Range: 1 to 44 GHz
Sets the carrier frequency to be used for Doppler effects in the fading simulations. The Carrier Frequency setting is coupled with the Frequency setting under the Instrument node. Also if you change the Carrier Frequency value, the Doppler Frequency or the Vehicle Speed settings under the Fader Path node will be changed.
When using SCPI, the instrument frequency and carrier frequency settings are not coupled, as they are when using the GUI. Therefore you must send separate commands to ensure both are the same. Also, you must repeat these commands each time you set the fader channel model because some models change the carrier frequency, but not the instrument frequency.
Example:
[:SOURce]:FSIMulator[1]:FADer[1]:STANdard:SCModel IEEE11PRLOS (sets fader channel model)
[:SOURce]:FSIMulator[1]:FADer[1]:FREQuency 5.86GHz (sets carrier frequency)
:FREQ 5.86GHz (sets instrument frequency)
[:SOURce]:FSIMulator[1]:FADer[1]:FREQuency <val>
[:SOURce]:FSIMulator[1]:FADer[1]:FREQuency?
These parameters apply to the following fading models only. In addition, for the associated SCPI command to be valid, one of these fading models must be executed first. See Fader Channel Model.

Sets the random number generation seed of the fading channel. If it is set to zero, the generated fading will be different for each playback to provide randomness for each test. To reproduce the same fading environment for the same configuration as the last time it was played, use the same seed value (other than 0) each time.
You can enter the entire 89-bit sequence directly into the random seed cell or use the high, medium, and low cells to designate the number in three segments for easier data entry.
[:SOURce]:FSIMulator[1]:SEED "<val>"
Specifies the lowest bits (0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF).
Specifies the middle bits (0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF).
Specifies the upper bits (0x0 to 0x1FFFFFF).
