Output Arguments
ind
— Start and stop indices
structure | integer-valued matrix
Start and stop indices, returned as a structure or an integer-valued matrix. The indices
correspond to the start and stop indices of fields included in the baseband waveform
defined by the cfg
input.
If you specify the field
input, the function returns
ind
as an N-by-2 integer-valued matrix
consisting of the start and stop indices of the specified PPDU field. This table
outlines the N dimension of the N-by-2 matrix that
is returned based on the specific format and configuration.

'DMG-AGC'
field contains NTrainingLength subfields, where NTrainingLength is 0–64 subfields. The'DMG-TRN'
field contains NTrainingLength + (NTrainingLength/4) subfields. As shown in this figure, the indices for'DMG-AGC'

Algorithms
FFT-Based Oversampling
An oversampled signal is a signal sampled at a frequency that is higher than the Nyquist rate. WLAN signals maximize occupied bandwidth by using small guardbands, which can pose problems for anti-imaging and anti-aliasing filters. Oversampling increases the guardband width relative to the total signal bandwidth, which increases the number of samples in the signal.
This function performs oversampling by using a larger IFFT and zero pad when generating an OFDM waveform. This diagram shows the oversampling process for an OFDM waveform with NFFT subcarriers made up of Ng guardband subcarriers on either side of Nst occupied bandwidth subcarriers.
