Perfect Channel Estimate

Estimation of the ideal channel.

perfect channel estimate

Description

The Perfect Channel Estimate block performs channel estimation by reconstructing the channel impulse response based on the parameters of the block and then performing OFDM demodulation.

Ports

Input

# IN_1 — input signal
matrix

Details

The input signal is in the form of a complex matrix.

Data types

ComplexF64.

Complex numbers support

Yes

Output

# EstGrid — output signal
matrix

Details

Output signal in the form of a complex matrix.

Data types

ComplexF64.

Complex numbers support

Parameters

Carrier

# NCellID — physical layer cell identifier
Real number

Details

A physical layer cell identifier specified as an integer from 0 to 1007.

Default value

1

Program usage name

ncellid

Tunable

No

Evaluatable

Yes

# NSizeGrid — number of remote objects in the telecom operator’s resource table
Real number

Details

The number of remote objects in the service provider’s resource table, specified as an integer from 1 to 275. The by default value of 51 corresponds to the maximum number of resource blocks for a 10 MHz carrier and a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz.

Default value

51

Program usage name

# Subcarrier spacing (kHz) — subcarrier spacing in kHz
15 | 30 | 60 | 120

Details

Subcarrier spacing in kHz for all channels and carrier reference signals.

Selectable values: 15 or 30 for FR1, 60 or 120 for FR2.

Values

15 | 30 | 60 | 120

# CyclicPrefix — cyclic prefix length
Normal | Extended

Details

The length of the cyclic prefix. Options to choose from:

  • Normal - Use this value to specify a normal cyclic prefix. This parameter corresponds to 14 OFDM characters in a slot.

  • Extended - use this value to specify an extended cyclic prefix. This parameter corresponds to 12 OFDM characters in the slot. For the numbering specified in the standard [1] in section 4.2, the extended cyclic prefix length applies only for 60 kHz subcarrier spacing.

Values
