Documentation and Tutorials
Characterize RFSoC Performance
Development with AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC starts by characterizing the data converter subsystem using Avnet RFSoC Explorer. Avnet RFSoC Explorer enables you to stream standards-compliant 5G, LTE, and custom waveforms to and from hardware. Several test waveforms are included. Additional custom waveforms may be created with MATLAB, Simulink, 3rd party and MathWorks Toolboxes or other methods. Testing can be performed with either the graphical user interface or programmatic API.
