Analysis Steps 
Preamble related result  Remark 
Rough frequency estimation  In case of subchannelization, a rough frequency estimation is obtained by 
exploiting the cyclic prefix of the OFDM symbols. 
Preamble power   
Preamble EVM  Uses payload channel estimation for equalization. 
Frequency error vs. preamble   
Phase error vs. preamble   
Channel estimation  Used for equalizing 
Payload related result  Remark 
Fine frequency estimation  Estimation on pilots used for phase correction if 'Phase Tracking' is 
selected. Phase tracking needs at least one pilot. 
In case of subchannelization, the value shown in the result summary table 
is estimated on pilots and data. 
Clock offset estimation  Estimation on pilots used for timing correction if 'Timing Tracking' is 
selected. Timing tracking needs at least two pilots. 
In case of subchannelization, the value shown in the result summary table 
is estimated on pilots and data. 
IQ Offset  Power at spectral line 0 normalized to the total transmitted power. 
Gain Imbalance  Estimation not available in case of subchannelization. 
Quadrature Error  Estimation not available in case of subchannelization. 
Payload channel estimation  Combined with the preamble channel estimation.
