SDR STARTER KIT WORKING WITH MATLAB

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MATLAB is the powerful IDE for developing algorithms and provides most powerful Signal Processing Libraries which can be used to build communication signal chains in very less time. ASRP4 comes with MATLAB drivers for working with realtime RF signals. Below are the set of MATLAB functions for the ASRP4 board.

SDR Starter Kit API’s for MATLAB are compatible with MATLAB versions from MATLAB2008a to MATLAB2014b. Minimum system requirements to work with SDR Starter Kit with MATLAB is any Windows OS and preinstalled MATLAB with PC having 2GB RAM and Intel Core i3/i5/i7(3Gen/4Gen). Please note that for working with SIMULINK, MATLAB Versions 2003b and above only are supported.

 

Note: Please note that the SDR Starter Kit Driver API’s for MATLAB are precompiled DLL’s and require that MATLAB mex compiler is configured. If you are not sure of this Compiler configured for MATLAB then

  • Type “mex -setup” in MATLAB command prompt and select any listed compilers. At the minimum MATLAB comes with LCC compiler and can be used as default compiler

  • Microsoft VC++ of any version can also be used for default compiler. For setting this compiler see more detailed help in MATLAB documentation
