SDR Overview RF system that does most of the signal processing in software This allows huge versatility from one piece of hardware Allows for development of communication systems without hardware constraints GPS, FM Radio, HDTV, RFID, Wi-Fi capability
SDR Example Rx Analog Signal Received A to D Conversion Digital Signal Processing on PC Tx PC generated signal D to A Conversion Analog Transmission Simulink Parameters
SDR Example
Requirements Test limitations of MATLAB & Simulink as a platform for SDR Use of Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2 (USRP2) Create a SDR testbed Implement and test various communication algorithms Open ended project
Constraints Time to Implement Lack of experience Tied to Specific Hardware and Software o USRP2 o MATLAB and Simulink
