PBCH Extraction Equalization

PBCH character extraction and alignment.

blockType: PBCHExtractionEqualization

Path in the library:

/5G/PBCH Extraction Equalization

Description

The PBCH Extraction Equalization block performs PBCH character extraction and alignment.

The block performs the following actions:

  • Extracts PBCH-related physical channel resource elements from the received mesh.

  • Uses the estimated channel and noise variance information to perform minimum mean square error equalisation and returns the aligned PBCH symbols as a complex matrix.

  • Returns the channel state information as a complex matrix.

Ports

matrix

Information about the channel state in the form of a complex matrix.

Data types: ComplexF64.
