PSDU Bit Rate
Selects the bit rate of the PSDU.
●
OFDM:
All data rates defined by the standard are supported. The selection of the PSDU bit
rate automatically determines the code rate of the convolutional coder and the sub-
carrier modulation of the OFDM.
Data rate
Possible modulation mode
6 Mbps and 9 Mbps
BPSK
12 Mbps and 18 Mbps
QPSK
24 Mbps and 36 Mbps
16-QAM
48 Mbps and 54 Mbps
64 QAM
●
CCK, PBCC:
The data rates available are 1
Mbps, 2
Mbps, 5.5
Mbps, 11
Mbps and 22 Mbps.
The 1
Mbps data rate is only available if the long PLCP format has been selected
(framed mode only). The selection of the data rate also determines the possible
modulation modes.
The following table shows the correlation between data rate and modulation.
Data rate
Possible modulation mode
1 Mbps
Barker sequence (DBPSK) the information data
sequence is spread with an 11-chip Barker
sequence, chip rate is 11 Mcps
2 Mbps
Barker sequence (DQPSK) the information data
sequence is spread with an 11-chip Barker
sequence, chip rate is 11 Mcps
5.5 Mbps
CCK (DQPSK) or PBCC (BPSK)
11 Mbps
CCK (DQPSK) or PBCC (QPSK)
22 Mbps
PBCC (8PSK)
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:WLAN:PSDU:BRATe
PSDU Modulation
Indicates the modulation type.
"PSDU Modu-
lation OFDM"
(OFDM) indicates the modulation type used on the OFDM subcarri-
ers. The modulation mode depends on the selected PSDU bit rate.
"PSDU Modu-
lation
CCK,PBCC"
Indicates the modulation type. The modulation mode depends on the
selected PSDU bit rate. The "Physical Layer Mode" parameter in the
main menu can be used for switchover between CCK and PBCC.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:WLAN:PSDU:MODulation?
