Software-Defined Radio and HDL

Support for third-party hardware

The examples featured here show you how to connect SDR hardware with the LTE Toolbox™. For more information about supported SDR platforms, see Supported Hardware – Software-Defined Radio.

LTE Toolbox provides mathematical models of the algorithms defined by the LTE standard. You can also use MathWorks^® HDL products, including Wireless HDL Toolbox™, to implement these algorithms for FPGA and ASIC hardware. You can use the LTE Toolbox mathematical algorithms as a reference to verify the behavior of the hardware implementation.

Featured Examples

LTE Transmitter Using Software Defined Radio

Generate a reference measurement channel (RMC) downlink (DL) LTE waveform suitable for over-the-air transmission. This example also shows how to use a software-defined radio (SDR) to transmit the generated waveform using single or multiple antennas.

LTE Receiver Using Software-Defined Radio

Recover the master information block (MIB) and basic system information from an over-the-air LTE downlink (DL) waveform. This example also shows how to receive an LTE waveform using a software-defined radio (SDR) with single or multiple antennas.

Image Transmission and Reception Using LTE Waveform and SDR

Transmit and receive an image using an LTE waveform and a software-defined radio (SDR). The example generates a single or multi-antenna LTE waveform for simultaneous transmission and reception on a single SDR platform. During waveform generation, the example encodes and packs an image into a radio frame. Then, on reception, the example decodes the image from the received LTE waveform.
