 Motivation
• Getting a better impression of the performance of
real radio frequency hardware components and the
persisting limits in the system.
• Performance of LTE modulation schemes.

 Introduction
• The mobile communication systems have grown
popularity day by day due to rapid advancement of
mobile technology.

• The user expectation from the new generation of

mobile network in terms of speed and reliability is
increased.

• In the presence of different modulation schemes such

as QPSK and M-QAM (M=16 , 64), a performance
analysis of LTE signal is obtained.
 SystemVue
• SystemVue is an Electronic System level design
software developed by Keysight technologies.
• Inbuilt blocks are provided for various devices whose
internal implementation is not displayed.
• Only their block level behavior is considered and
internal implementation is left to fabricator.
 Basic experiments in SystemVue
• To become familiar with using SystemVue for
system design two circuits have been designed
and simulated on SystemVue. These are:

- Direct down converter for LTE standard

- Direct down converter with filters for LTE standard

- Heterodyne receiver(Optimized Implementation)

for LTE standard
 Direct down converter
• Here a multi-source which generates a 10 MHz signal
spectrum centered at 751 MHz has been considered
which has to be down converted to baseband.
• This signal is split using splitter into I/Q components
which are each multiplied by a locally generated
carrier of 751 MHz.
• This gives us the desired signal centered at 0 MHz and
one centered at 1502 MHz.
• To eliminate the harmonics an LPF is inserted in each
path and a BPF just after the source amplifier to
eliminate out of band noise.

 Analysis
• Simulated results displayed contain five peaks
centered at dc level and various harmonics of 751
MHz.
• of which only the peak observed at baseband is
relevant and other frequency components must be
eliminated.
• To do this a revision to the schematic has been
proposed which includes a low pass filter
incorporated before the output port in each path.

 Analysis
• Simulated results displayed here still contain five peaks
centered at dc level and various harmonics of 751 MHz.

• But the power level of peaks other than the base band
are below -90dBm which is minimum for LTE reception
and are thus summarily ignored.
 Heterodyne receiver
• Here the requirements are same as direct down
converter but an intermediate stage is introduced to
shift the center frequency to an intermediate
frequency(IF) first and then to base band.

• The IF here is 10MHz.

•Simulated results of displayed first implementation have a peak

centered at dc level and various harmonics of 751 MHz have been
eliminated completely.
•The SNR has been observed to be 9dB.

Slide after next is a zoom in view of next one and is centered at

baseband clearly showing the difference between signal and noise
power levels.
It shows that the power level of base band has increased compared to
previous implementation without a significant drop in SNR.
