Waveform Generation and Testing with Software-Defined Radios (SDR) and RF instruments

In this webinar, you will learn about new hardware support capabilities in MATLAB and Simulink that enable you to connect your algorithms to a range of SDR devices and RF instruments and use live radio signals to verify your designs with waveform generation and over-the-air testing.

We will showcase how using Communications Toolbox hardware support packages can enable you to connect your transmitter and receiver models to Software-Defined Radio (SDR) devices, and using Instrument Control Toolbox can help you transfer data to/from RF instruments.

Using case studies and examples, we provide an overview of the entire process from transmitting generated waveform, configuring signal transmission and acquisition parameters, retrieving IQ data into MATLAB and finally measurement and analysis on the received data in MATLAB and Simulink.

Highlights include the use of the following supported SDRs and RF instruments:

• Keysight RF Signal Generator and Spectrum Analyzer
• Xilinx Zynq-Based Radio
• USRP^® Radio
• RTL-SDR Radio
