FRC Wizard Window (Uplink)

To set up a fixed reference channel (FRC), for an Advanced LTE TDD Uplink carrier, click the Wizard button in the Uplink Setup node for the LTE standards to open the FRC Wizard.

FRC Configuration

System Bandwidth

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the system bandwidth and number of resource blocks for the fixed reference channel.

FRC Type

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the ClosedFRC Type. The software sets the parameters displayed in the lower section of the window to predetermined values for the FRC Type and Reference Channel "A" value (An-n) selected.

FRC for reference sensitivity and in-channel selectivity (QPSK, R=1/3)

A1-1, A1-2, A1-3, A1-4, A1-5

FRC for dynamic range (16QAM, R=2/3)

A2-1, A2-2, A2-3

FRC for performance requirements (QPSK, R=1/3)

A3-1, A3-2, A3-3, A3-4, A3-5, A3-6, A3-7
