DwPTS/DwPCH (Downlink Pilot Timeslot/Channel)

The downlink pilot timeslot/channel is used for downlink synchronization and cell initial search. There are 32 different downlink synchronization codes used to distinguish base stations. The DwPTS is 75 ms long. The content of DwPTS is composed of 64 chips of a SYNC-DL sequence and 32 chips of guard period (GP). The SYNC-DL code is not scrambled. The SYNC-DL is QPSK modulated and the phase of the SYNC-DL is used to signal the presence of the P-CCPCH in the multi-frame of the resource units of channel code 1 and 2 in timeslot 0.

DwPTS Downlink Pilot Timeslot            

State

Choice: ON | OFF

Default: On

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the state of the downlink pilot timeslot ON or OFF.

Power

Range: –60 to 0 dB.

Default: 0 dB

Enter a value to set the downlink pilot timeslot power. The CDP graph displays the normalized power of each RU in each timeslot after you generate the waveform. Refer to the Power Setting for the power calculation of the carriers, channels/timeslots and RUs.

SYNC-DL ID

Choice: 0 to 31

Default: 0

Enter a value to set the downlink synchronization code used in DwPTS.

Timing Offset

Range: –8 to 8 chips

Default: 0.000 Chips

This cell displays the Time Offset for DwPTS. You cannot edit the value in this cell.

Phase Pattern

Choice: None | S1 | S2 | USER

Default: S1

This cell defines the type of phase rotation sequence for the modulation for the SYNC-DL. When you click the cell, a drop-down arrow provides access to the DwPTS Phase Pattern Entry window where you configure the S1, S2, and USER parameter for 80 subframes.
