Hello Malar,
To test a Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) transmitting waveform in an RF transmitter using MATLAB, you would typically follow these steps:
- Simulate the FBMC Waveform: You need to generate the FBMC waveform first. MATLAB provides tools to simulate such waveforms using built-in functions.
- Digital-to-Analog Conversion (DAC): In a real-world scenario, the simulated digital waveform must be converted into an analog signal using a DAC. In MATLAB, you can simulate this process by upsampling and filtering the digital signal to mimic the behavior of a DAC.
- RF Upconversion: The baseband signal needs to be upconverted to an RF frequency. In MATLAB, you can simulate upconversion by mixing the baseband signal with a carrier signal.
- Add Channel Effects: Real-world channels introduce effects such as noise, fading, and interference. You can use MATLAB to add these effects to your simulated RF signal.
- Interface with RF Hardware: If you have access to RF hardware that can be controlled by MATLAB (such as software-defined radios), you can use MATLAB's interfacing capabilities to send your simulated waveform to the hardware for transmission.
