USRP^® Hardware Support from MATLAB and Simulink

MATLAB and Simulink connect to the USRP^® software-defined radios (SDR) from Ettus Research LLC™ to provide a radio-in-the-loop design and modeling environment. With the support package, Communications System Toolbox, and a USRP^® radio, you can design and verify practical SDR systems starting with Release 2011a of MATLAB and Simulink. GNU Radio open-source software is not required to use this support package.

MATLAB and Simulink support for USRP^® devices includes:

• Ability to use the USRP^® as a standalone peripheral for live RF data I/O, including:
  • Functions and System objects for connecting MATLAB to UHD™-based USRP^® radios
  • Blocks for connecting Simulink to UHD™-based USRP^® radios
• Support for optional HDL code generation to customize the USRP^® N210 hardware, which requires HDL Coder
• Examples:
  • QPSK transmitter and receiver
  • FM mono and stereo receivers
  • FRS/GMRS transmitter and receiver

MATLAB and Simulink support for USRP^® devices has been tested on N210 and USRP2^® devices with WBX, SBX, XCVR2450, TVRX, TVRX2, LFRX, LFTX, DBSRX, and DBSRX2 daughterboards. Support may also extend to other UHD™-based radios and daughterboards from National Instruments^®.
