Get Started with Wireless Testbench

Wireless Testbench™ enables you to test wideband wireless systems and perform spectrum monitoring with high-speed data capture using MATLAB^® with USRP™ N3xx, X3xx, or X4xx.

You can set waveform-specific characteristics in hardware to trigger the capture of data of interest for post-processing and analysis in MATLAB. You can use hardware-based resampling to transmit and capture custom signals at arbitrary sample rates or standards-based signals (5G and WLAN) at their native sample rates. You can also integrate custom IP blocks with RF Network-on-Chip (RFNoC™) into the signal processing chain on the USRP FPGA (with HDL Coder™).
