Example: Calculating the maximum frequency offset
This example uses the following signal:
●
"Standard = 3GPP FDD"
●
"Chip Rate = 3.84 Mcps"
●
"Filter Type = Root Cosine"
●
"Roll Off Factor = 0.22"
The complex useful bandwidth of filtered signal is calculated as follows (see "Impact of
the Filter Parameters" on page 249):
●
f
use
= (1 + "Roll Off Factor") * "Symbol Rate"
●
f
use
= (1+ 0.22) * 3.84 MHz = 4.6848 MHz
For an instrument with a total available I/Q bandwidth of 160 MHz, the valid range of
values for the frequency offset is then:
●
-160 MHz/2 + 4.6848 MHz/2 ≤ f
offset
≤ 160 MHz/2 - 4.6848 MHz/2 or
●
-77.6576 MHz ≤ f
offset
≤ 77.6576 MHz
How to observe the effect?
Use the built-in real-time graphical display ("System Configuration > Graphics > Power
Spectrum") and observe the power spectrum of the signal with and without frequency
offset:
●
See Chapter 2.3.6, "Verifying the Generated Signal with the Graphics Display",
on page 83
●
See also"To set and verify a baseband frequency offset" on page 579.
4.12.1.2 Impact of the Phase Offset
The "Phase Offset" determines the phase offset between the different baseband sig-
nals. A phase offset rotates each point of an I/Q constellation diagram by the specified
phase offset.
