Standards-Based Modeling
Use your software defined radio to transmit and receive compliant with various standards
Your SDR can transmit and receive signals compliant with various standards. Use Communications Toolbox™ to generate and recover various over-the-air waveforms.
Topics
5G
- 5G NR Synchronization Signal Capture Using Software-Defined Radio (5G Toolbox)
 Use a software-defined radio to capture an SS burst. Analyze the capture and identify the strongest SSB. (Since R2024a)
- 5G NR Waveform Capture and Analysis Using Software-Defined Radio (5G Toolbox)
 Generate and transmit a 5G NR waveform continuously over the air using a supported software-defined radio.
ADS-B and AIS
- Ship Tracking Using AIS Signals
 Track ships by processing automatic identification system (AIS) signals, using either previously captured signals or real-time reception with an RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO, or USRP™ radio, and display the tracked ships on a map with the Mapping Toolbox™.
- Airplane Tracking Using ADS-B Signals
 Track planes by processing automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) signals, using either previously captured signals or real-time reception with an RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO, or USRP radio, and visualize them on a map with the Mapping Toolbox.
- Airplane Tracking Using ADS-B Signals in Simulink
 Track planes by processing automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) signals, using either previously captured signals or real-time reception with an RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO, or USRP radio, and visualize them on a map with the Mapping Toolbox.
FM
- FM Broadcast Receiver
 Build an FM mono or stereo receiver using recorded data or real-time signals with an RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO, or USRP radio.
- FM Broadcast Receiver in Simulink
 Build an FM mono or stereo receiver using recorded data or real-time signals with an RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO, or USRP radio.
- RDS/RBDS and RadioText Plus (RT+) FM Receiver
 Extract program or song information from FM radio stations using RDS or RBDS, and optionally RT+, standards by processing previously captured signals or receiving over-the-air signals in real time with an RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO, or USRP radio.
- RDS/RBDS and RadioText Plus (RT+) FM Receiver in Simulink
 Extract program or song information from FM radio stations using RDS or RBDS, and optionally RT+, standards by processing previously captured signals or receiving over-the-air signals in real time with an RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO, or USRP radio.
LTE
- LTE Transmitter Using Software Defined Radio (LTE Toolbox)
 This example shows how to generate a reference measurement channel (RMC) downlink (DL) LTE waveform suitable for over-the-air transmission.
