1. 5GNR Analyzer Status Panel: Each measurement features a unique status panel that displays settings and information relevant to the current measurement and view settings. This panel provides quick access to the measurement frequency, subcarrier spacing, channel bandwidth, and band configuration. See Status Panel (5GNR Constellation). 2. PCI Summary: This area shows the physical cell ID summary data, including the sector ID, cell group number, frequency error, time offset, and sync status. Sync status can indicate if there is a PSS, SSS, or Beam Index failure, Full Sync, or an Unknown condition. Also noted is the instrument’s reference clock accuracy of Internal, External, or GPS high accuracy (requires GPS). 3. Constellation: This area displays the demodulated symbol point location on an IQ coordinate plot. Points are drawn in colors that are associated with the symbol point density. Warmer colors (red/orange) indicate a higher symbol density where cooler colors (cyan/blue) indicate lower symbol density. The ideal symbol reference point location overlay can be toggled on or off via the SETUP menu. 4. Channel Summary: For the currently selected beam, shows the RMS error vector magnitude (EVM), peak EVM (@ subcarrier/symbol) and received power in dBm for each block measurement: • PBCH-DMRS: In 5GNR measurements, the PBCH decoding relies on a demodulation reference signal (DMRS, which is a physical layer reference signal used for decoding) rather than a cell specific reference signal (CRC). • PSS: The primary synchronization signal provides the primary frame boundary (i.e., the position of the first symbol in the frame). • SSS: Similar to PSS, the secondary synchronization signal provides the secondary sub-frame boundary. 5. SETUP Menu: The constellation measurement settings are configured in the SETUP menu. See SETUP Menu (5GNR Constellation). |
- ![]() | MODULATION Selects the modulation format (only QPSK is available). DATA SELECT Selects the data format (only Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) is available). BEAM SELECT: Selects the 5GNR SSB beam for the demodulation and display. REF POINTS Toggles the ideal reference point locations on or off. PRESET SETUP Presets the SETUP menu to default settings. |
![]() | SWEEP: Toggles the current sweep setting between continuously or sweep once. SWEEP ONCE When sweep is set to single sweep, SWEEP ONCE updates the measurement display. Data continues to be captured in the background. BAND Select MANUAL or one of the predefined bands. Selecting MANUAL disables ARFCN and GSCN settings. Selecting a predefined band activates ARFCN and GSCN settings. ARFCN ARFCN is the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number. The ARFCN is a unique identification number assigned to each radio channel within a communications spectrum. The ARFCN can be used to calculate the center frequency of the radio channel. The available input range is dependent on the selected band. CHANNEL BW Sets the measurement channel bandwidth. The available bandwidth settings depend on the selected band and bandwidth option installed in the instrument. Refer to Options Settings. GSCN GSCN is the Global Synchronization Raster Channel. The GSCN identifies the mapping of the synchronous signal block (SSB). The available input range is dependent on the selected band. SUBCARRIER SPACING Sets the subcarrier spacing. The available input range is dependent on the selected band. CENTER FREQUENCY When the band is set to MANUAL, sets the center frequency of the measurement channel. Changing the center frequency sets the band to MANUAL. SSB OFFSET SSB is the Synchronous Signal Block. The SSB Offset sets the frequency offset between the SSB and the overall resource block. FREQ REFERENCE Indicates the current frequency reference source of Internal, External, or GPS Hi Accuracy (requires GPS). The instrument automatically selects the frequency reference in the following order of priority: external, GPS, then the internal time base. |
