Changing sub-carrier spacing in LTE toolbox

Hello, I'm wondering if there is a flexibility in changing sub-carrier spacing in LTE toolbox? In LTE, 15kHz sub-carrier spacing is fixed. However, I would like to change it to other value, says, 30kHz, 60kHz, or 120kHz. Does LTE toolbox support this parameter change?

Thanks, Jiwoo

Hi Jiwoo,

If you are interested in the agreed 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) spacings (15KHz*2^n) then the OFDM modulator in the MATLAB 5G Library (available as an Add-On for LTE System Toolbox users) supports NR subcarrier spacings, matching Cyclic Prefix layout according to TR 38.802 NR agreements, F-OFDM and WOLA-OFDM, as well as TR 38.900 (now re-badged as TR 38.901) CDL and TDL channel models.

The 5G Library OFDM modulator is backwards compatible with the LTE specific one in the LTE System Toolbox so it's a drop-in replacement.

Cheers,

Graham
