Open Live Script

Create a VHT configuration object with an 80 MHz channel bandwidth.

cfgVHT = wlanVHTConfig;
cfgVHT.ChannelBandwidth = 'CBW80';

Generate a VHT-LTF waveform.

vltfOut = wlanVHTLTF(cfgVHT);
size(vltfOut)
ans = 1×2

   320     1

The 80 MHz waveform is a single OFDM symbol with 320 complex output samples.

Input Arguments

Format configuration, specified as a wlanVHTConfig object.

Output Arguments

VHT-LTF time-domain waveform, returned as an (NS × NVHTLTF)-by-NT matrix. NS is the number of time-domain samples per NVHTLTF, where NVHTLTF is the number of OFDM symbols in the VHT-LTF. NT is the number of transmit antennas.

NS is proportional to the channel bandwidth.

VHT-LTF

The very high throughput long training field (VHT-LTF) is located between the VHT-STF and VHT-SIG-B portion of the VHT packet.

It is used for MIMO channel estimation and pilot subcarrier tracking. The VHT-LTF includes one VHT long training symbol for each spatial stream indicated by the selected MCS. Each symbol is 4 μs long. A maximum of eight symbols are permitted in the VHT-LTF.

For a detailed description of the VHT-LTF, see section 21.3.8.3.5 of IEEE® Std 802.11™-2016.

VHT-LTF Processing

The VHT-LTF is used for MIMO channel estimation and pilot subcarrier tracking. The number of OFDM symbols in the VHT-LTF (NVHTLTF) is derived from the total number of space-time streams (NSTS_Total). NSTS_Total = ΣNSTS(u) for user u, u = 0,…, NUsers–1 and NSTS(u) is the number of space-time streams per user.
