wlanVHTSTF

Generate VHT-STF waveform

Description

example

y = wlanVHTSTF(cfg) generates a VHT-STF[1] time-domain waveform for the specified configuration object. See VHT-STF Processing for waveform generation details.

Examples

collapse all

Create a VHT configuration object with an 80 MHz channel bandwidth. Generate and plot the VHT-STF waveform.

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

vstfOut = wlanVHTSTF(cfgVHT);
size(vstfOut);
plot(abs(vstfOut))
xlabel('Samples')
ylabel('Amplitude')

The 80 MHz waveform is a single OFDM symbol with 320 complex time-domain output samples. The waveform contains the repeating short training field pattern.

Input Arguments

VHT-STF time-domain waveform, returned as an NS-by-NT matrix. NS is the number of time-domain samples, and NT is the number of transmit antennas.

NS is proportional to the channel bandwidth.

VHT-STF

The very high throughput short training field (VHT-STF) is a single OFDM symbol (4 μs in length) that is used to improve automatic gain control estimation in a MIMO transmission. It is located between the VHT-SIG-A and VHT-LTF portions of the VHT packet.

The frequency domain sequence used to construct the VHT-STF for a 20 MHz transmission is identical to the L-STF sequence. Duplicate L-STF sequences are frequency shifted and phase rotated to support VHT transmissions for the 40 MHz, 80 MHz, and 160 MHz channel bandwidths. As such, the L-STF and HT-STF are subsets of the VHT-STF.

For a detailed description of the VHT-STF, see section 21.3.8.3.4 of IEEE® Std 802.11™-2016.
