The LTE E-UTRA frequency bands LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. This is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications networks, called 4G for short. The specification process for LTE began in around 2004, and it took another five years or so until the first LTE networks came on line between 2008 and 2010.
The LTE duplex modes The duplex mode in cellular mobile telecommunications systems such as 2G, 3G and 4G refers to the way communication between the handset and the base station takes place, that is, how the uplink and downlink are separated from each other.
Figure 2. A protocol is also required for this, to ensure that the uplink and downlink in TDD alternate without conflicts. Such a protocol is likely to be quite complex for a modern communication technology like LTE. It can be illustrated simply as being like a conversation between two persons using a simple walkie-talkie link operating on one frequency.
Using the SRM 3006 LTE-TDD option It is now also possible to demodulate LTE TDD signals on the SRM 3006 with firmware release 1.5.0. Sections 1 to 3 above have described how LTE TDD functions differently to LTE FDD and how it therefore needs different treatment in the SRM.
