LTE Tutorial

Learn about LTE and LTE-Advanced signals and physical layer processing

To develop products that conform to the LTE and LTE-Advanced standards, it’s important to understand the structure of LTE signals, physical layer algorithms such as OFDM and spatial multiplexing, and strategies for simulating and testing your product design.

LTE tutorial videos, articles, and code examples introduce key LTE concepts and effective techniques and workflows for LTE physical layer development including:

Waveform generation
End-to-end simulation and conformance testing
Design verification
Signal analysis

Frame structure of the LTE resource grid.

For more information, see LTE System Toolbox™.
