Overview
Real-time processing of 5G New Radio (NR) waveforms is a complex undertaking. It requires the processing power of an FPGA, and the flexibility of a processor. Learn how to get started using MATLAB and Simulink to refine a 5G NR receiver algorithm so it can be deployed across the FPGA fabric and the ARM processor on a Xilinx Zynq SoC.
Highlights
