Hi Tudor,
MATLAB can potentially work with your setup for beamforming applications, but it requires additional steps:
- You have to design the Simulink model and deploy the generated code into the Zynq SoC and establish the communication with transceiver you may need to check how to connect transceiver with the SoC. Refer: https://www.mathworks.com/help/soc/ug/wlan-hdl-receiver-using-analog-devices-ad9361-ad9364.html, for beam forming: https://www.mathworks.com/help/dsphdl/ug/design-an-hdl-beamforming-algorithm-in-simulink.html and https://www.mathworks.com/help/phased/ug/hdl-code-generation-and-verification-of-a-beamforming-algorithm-in-simulink.html. There's an example contribution in the file exchange you can also refer to it: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/89619-fpga-adaptive-beamforming-and-radar-examples
- Develop code to interface with the AD-FMCOMMS5 and ZYNQ using compatible libraries (check Analog Devices resources).
While MATLAB provides design tools, successful implementation involves extra effort for hardware interaction and potentially FPGA programming I hope this may guide you to achieve your requirement.
