Preliminary spectrum information |
---|
1. Obtain the center frequencies (fC,1 and fC,2 ) and the suitable frequency offsets (foffset,1 and foffset,2) based on the bandwidths of the desired signals, e.g., from [36] |
2. Based on the spectrum sensing information, find the most harmful blockers (fint,1 and fint,2 ) |
• In case of mirror-frequency rejecting STF design fint,1 = −fC,1 and fint,2 = −fC,2 |
