    What is OFDM basically?

    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?

    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

    Downlink spatial multiplexing - precoding

    l The signal is “ pre-coded” at Node B side before transmission

    l Optimum precoding matrix is selected from predefined

    “ codebook” known at Node B and UE side

    l UE estimates the channel, selects the best precoding matrix at the

    moment and sends back its index

    Beamforming

    l Smart antennas are divided into two groups:

    - Phased array systems (switched beamforming) with a finite

    number of fixed predefined patterns

    - Adaptive array systems (AAS) (adaptive beamforming) with

    an infinite number of patterns adjusted to the scenario in

    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.
