Syntax

waveform = umtsUplinkWaveformGenerator(config)

Description

waveform = umtsUplinkWaveformGenerator(config) returns the Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) uplink waveform defined by the configuration structure, config. This function supports Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), and Evolved High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSPA+) waveform generation. The top-level parameters and lower-level substructures of config characterize the waveform and channel properties of the umtsUplinkWaveformGenerator function output. The config input is generated using the umtsUplinkReferenceChannels function; config includes top-level parameters and substructures to describe the different channels to include in the waveform. The top-level parameters of config are: TotFrames, ScramblingCode, FilterType, OversamplingRatio, and NormalizedPower. To enable the specific channels, you can add associated substructures: DPDCH, DPCCH, HSUPA, and HSDPCCH.

Open Script

Initialize an 'RMC384kbps' reference channel and generate the UMTS waveform that corresponds to these settings.

Generate the configuration structure, config.

rc = 'RMC384kbps';
config = umtsUplinkReferenceChannels(rc);

Generate the desired waveform using config as the input to the waveform generation function. Create a spectrum analyzer object sampling at chiprate x OversamplingRatio. Plot the waveform.

waveform = umtsUplinkWaveformGenerator(config);
saScope = spectrumAnalyzer(SampleRate=3.84e6*config.OversamplingRatio);
saScope(waveform);
