l Current 3G frequency blocks, licensed by operators in variouscountries provide not enough bandwidth, for example in Europe/USA,or a continuous frequency range, for example USA, to roll-out LTE
and use the full capacity,
l New frequency ranges will be used to use full capacity of
LTE,

What is OFDM basically?
5 MHz
Single CarrierTransmission
(e.g. WCDMA)
e.g. 5 MHz
(Orthogonal )
Frequency DivisionMultiplexing ((O)FDM)
Typically several 100 sub-carriers with spacing of x kHz
l Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) is a multi-
carrier transmission technique, which divides the available
spectrum into many subcarriers, each one being modulated
by a low data rate stream,

OFDM Summary Advantages
OFDM Summary Advantages and disadvantages
l High spectral efficiency due to
efficient use of available
bandwidth,
l Scalable bandwidths and data rates,
l Robust against narrow-band co-
channel interference,
Intersymbol Interference (ISI)
and fading caused by mult ipath
propagation,
l Can easily adapt to severe
channel condit ions without
complex equalization
l 1-tap equalization in frequencydomain,
l Low sensitivity to time
synchronization errors,
l Very sensitive to frequency
synchronization,
l Phase noise, frequency and clock offset,
l Sensit ive to Doppler shift,l Guard interval required to minimize
effects of ISI and ICI,
l High peak-to-average power ratio
(PAPR), due to the independent
phases of the sub-carriers mean that
they will often combine constructively,
l High-resolution DAC and ADC required,
l Requiring linear transmitter circuitry, which
suffers from poor power efficiency, – Any non-linearity will cause intermodulationdistortion raising phase noise, causing Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) and out-of-bandspurious radiation.

How to derive information in LTE?
Check the PDCCH for an uniqueIDENTITY1). As soon as you have
found it, you will get all theinformation you need there.
I would like to read the PDSCHbut I don‘t know which resources
are allocated for the transportof system or paging informationor data and how they look like?
1) Several identities are used in LTE to identify UE’s (e.g. C-RNTI),System Information (SI-RNTI), Paging Information (P-RNTI) or during
Random Access Procedure (RA-RNTI), for details see 3GPP TS36.321 MAC Protocol Specification

Measurement Real-time MIMO fading up to 4 x 2
and 2 x 4
l 4 x 2 MIMO up to 3 GHz two SMU200A
Each of the four basebands represent onetransmit antenna. The two receiveantennas are represented by combiningthe first RF outputs of both SMU200A andthe second RF outputs of both SMU200Aby RF combiners respectively. By doing
so, all eight possible fading channels of a4 x 2 MIMO setup can be simulated.
l Minimum instrument configuration:
Both SMU200A need the same options
as described above for the 2 x 2 MIMOcase.
