5G NR waveform generation, visualization, and transmitter performance analysis

5G Toolbox™ provides waveform generation and analysis capabilities.

  • Generate, impair, and visualize uplink and downlink waveforms, test models, and FRCs programmatically or by using the 5G Waveform Generator app.

  • Analyse waveform quality and obtain metrics. For example, you can measure error vector magnitude (EVM), adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), and obtain quality metrics based on channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS).

  • Characterize the impact of RF impairments in NR transmitters and receivers.
