Description

TxID Explorer is a simple and robust Channel Impulse Response (CIR) analysis tool designed to assist users with individual transmitter channel estimate in Single Frequency Network (SFN) environment based on the transmitter TxID.

The TxID Explorer plot is a simple correlation of a given TxID antenna pattern with TxID signal estimated with Preamble channel. By selecting one specific ID, a user can monitor the presence or absence of the transmitter contribution in the overall channel and can also get an estimate of the channel accuracy with the floor level value of the CIR showing ID detectability.

We encourage the usage of the tool while troubleshooting potential TxID issues such as its timely mismatch (misalignment) with Preamble and etc.

Available in Plots
