Designing Multisine Excitations for Measurement of Modern Wireless Communication System

Abstract:

Multisine signal is often employed as an appropriate excitation to represent the complex modulated RF signals for accurate measurement of modern wireless communication system. This paper presents a novel way of designing a multisine signal by using Discrete Fourier Transformation coefficients to represent the digital modulation signals. Investigations of the approach on the IS-95 reverse-link signal as original signal is demonstrated the designed multisine signal can approximate represent original signal.
