Fixed WiMAX Demodulator Menu (1 of 2)
Constellation
Press the Constellation submenu key to set the demodulation to Constellation view. The constellation view shows the constellation of the demodulated data symbols over one frame. When demodulation is set to Constellation view, press this submenu key again to open the Constellation menu.
The constellations are color coded as follows:
BPSK is shown in orange
QPSK is shown in purple
16‑QAM is shown in green
64‑QAM is shown in yellow
Reference Points
Press this submenu key to display reference points for the various constellations. On is the default state.
Back
Press this submenu key to return to the Demodulator menu.
Spectral Flatness
Press this submenu key to show the spectral flatness data that is measured from the preamble at the channel estimation step. The deviation of the spectral flatness from the average of all the carriers is shown in dB.
A mask that conforms to the specification is overlaid on the trace. Green color on the mask indicates pass, and red color on the mask indicates regions of the mask where the signal fails.
The specification for the mask is:
0 to ± 50 subcarriers < ± 2 dB
± 50 to ± 100 subcarriers < + 2 dB, and – 4 dB
This mask is referenced from the average of all 200 subcarrier amplitude values. Absolute delta of the power between adjacent subcarriers is displayed as a numerical value in dB.
