Syntax

lteTestModelTool
[waveform,grid,tm] = lteTestModelTool(tmn,bw,ncellid,duplexmode)
[waveform,grid,tm] = lteTestModelTool(tm)

Description

lteTestModelTool starts the LTE Waveform Generator app for the parameterization and generation of the E-UTRA test model (E-TM) waveforms.

example

[waveform,grid,tm] = lteTestModelTool(tmn,bw,ncellid,duplexmode) accepts inputs for the test model number and channel bandwidth for the generated waveform. Optionally, accepts inputs for the physical cell identity and duplex mode.

example

[waveform,grid,tm] = lteTestModelTool(tm) where a user-defined test model configuration structure is provided as an input.

Open Live Script

Generate a time domain signal, txWaveform, and a 2-dimensional array of the Resource Elements, txGrid, for Test Model TS 36.141 E-TM 2a with 10MHz bandwidth. This is a 256QAM E-TM.

Specify test model number and bandwidth. Generate txWaveform. Plot the txGrid output.

[txWaveform,txGrid,tm] = lteTestModelTool('2a','10MHz');
plot(txGrid,'.')

Figure contains an axes. The axes contains 140 objects of type line.

The plot of all the complex resource element symbols in the frame is dominated by the 256QAM PDSCH constellation.

Generate a time domain signal, txWaveform, and a 2-dimensional array of the Resource Elements, txGrid, for Test Model TS 36.141 E-TM 3.2 with 15MHz bandwidth.

Specify test model number and bandwidth for tmCfg configuration structure and create it. Generate txWaveform. View the waveform with a spectrum analyzer.

tmn = '3.2';
bw = '15MHz';
tmCfg = lteTestModel(tmn,bw);

[txWaveform,txGrid,tm] = lteTestModelTool(tmCfg);

saScope = dsp.SpectrumAnalyzer('SampleRate', tm.SamplingRate);
saScope(txWaveform)

Test model number, specified as a character vector or string scalar. Use double quotes for string. For more information on these test model numbers, see TS 36.141 [1], Section 6.1.

Example: '3.2'

Data Types: char | string

Channel bandwidth, specified as a character vector or string scalar. Use double quotes for string. You can set the nonstandard bandwidths, '9RB','11RB','27RB','45RB','64RB', and '91RB', only when tmn is '1.1'. These nonstandard bandwidths specify custom test models.

Example: '15MHz'

Data Types: char | string

Physical layer cell identity, specified as an integer. If you do not specify this argument, the default is 1 for standard bandwidths and 10 for non-standard bandwidths.

Example: 1

Data Types: double

Duplex mode of the generated waveform, specified as 'FDD' or 'TDD'. Optional.

Example: 'FDD'

Data Types: char | string

User-defined test model configuration, specified as a scalar structure. You can use lteTestModel to generate the various tm configuration structures as per TS 36.141, Section 6 [1]. This configuration structure then can be modified as per requirements and used to generate the waveform.
