Wireless Waveform Generator
Create, impair, visualize, and export modulated waveforms
Description
The Wireless Waveform Generator app enables you to create, impair, visualize, and export modulated waveforms.
Using this app you can:
Generate custom OFDM, QAM, and PSK modulated waveforms.
Generate sine wave test waveforms.
Generate WLAN (802.11™) modulated waveforms. This feature requires the WLAN Toolbox.
Distort the waveform by adding RF impairments such as AWGN, phase offset, frequency offset, DC offset, IQ imbalance, and memoryless cubic nonlinearity.
Visualize the waveform in constellation diagram, spectrum analyzer, OFDM grid, and time scope plots.
Export the waveform to your workspace or to a file.
For more information, see Using Wireless Waveform Generator App.

Examples
Generate OFDM Waveform
Open the Wireless Waveform Generator app and generate the default waveform by clicking Generate. The displayed waveform is an OFDM waveform with QPSK-modulated symbols.
Click Insert DC null and increase the Guard band
subcarriers to [20:19]. Click
Generate again. The plotted waveform changes to reflect the
updated configuration.
Generate 16-QAM Waveform with Impairments
Open the Wireless Waveform Generator app and configure a 16-QAM waveform. Specify a phase imbalance of 11.25 degrees and an amplitude imbalance of 1.5 dB. Click Generate to generate the waveform.
Select the Filtering parameter and apply root raised cosine filtering. Click Generate again to generate a waveform using the current configuration. The plotted waveform changes to reflect the updated configuration.
Generate WLAN Non-HT PPDU
Open the Wireless Waveform Generator app and configure a
non-HT PPDU with one packet and an idle time of zero. Using this feature of the app
requires the WLAN Toolbox™. In the Waveform Type section, select
802.11a/g/j (OFDM). Click Generate to
generate the waveform. The displayed waveform is an 802.11a™ packet with a 20 MHz channel bandwidth.
Configure the app to generate a non-HT PPDU with three packets and an idle time of
10 ms between consecutive packets. Click Visualize and configure
to select Time Scope only. Click Generate
again to generate a waveform using the current configuration. The Time
Scope plot shows the updated waveform with three packets. An idle time of
10 ms follows each packet.
Generate WLAN VHT PPDU
Open Wireless Waveform Generator and configure a VHT PPDU
with one packet and an idle time of zero. Using this feature of the app requires the
WLAN Toolbox. In the Waveform Type section, select
802.11ac (OFDM). Click Generate to
generate the waveform. The displayed waveform is an 802.11ac™ packet with an 80 MHz channel bandwidth.
Configure the app to generate a VHT PPDU with two transmit antennas, two users, two packets, and an idle time of 0.5 ms between consecutive packets. Click Visualize and configure to select Time Scope only. Click Generate again to generate a waveform using the current configuration. The Time Scope plot shows the updated waveform with two packets. An idle time of 0.5 ms follows each packet.
Note
The app only plots the first transmission stream.
