NI USRP Radio Support from Wireless Testbench
Use USRP N3xx, X3xx, and X4xx radios to test wideband wireless systems and add custom IP blocks on their FPGA
Check the System Requirements
To install a hardware support package, you must have a supported product release, along with the required operating system and base product.
View the hardware support package system requirements table and confirm you have:
- A supported release
- A supported operating system
- The required base products
If you do not have a supported release or the required base products, you can get started with a free trial, or you can purchase products.
Continue with the Installation
After confirming you have the system requirements, proceed with either installation option listed below.
Option 1: Using the Toolstrip
Launch the Support Package Installer from your version of MATLAB and navigate to the correct support package.
Option 2: "Get Support Package" Button (.mlpkginstall file*)
Clicking the Get Support Package button provides the support package install file:
([filename].mlpkginstall)
There are several ways to initiate the Support Package Installer from these files:
- Open the
.mlpkginstallfile directly from your Internet browser. - Download and save the file (the default option for some Internet browsers), and open it directly from your Windows, Mac, or Linux operating system.
- Open the
.mlpkginstallfile directly from within MATLAB by navigating the Current Folder to the location of the downloaded file and double clicking it. That will initiate the installation for the MATLAB release that you have open.
The primary difference between using the .mlpkginstall file (option 2) rather than the toolstrip (option 1) to initiate support package installation is that the file allows the user to avoid the support package selection screen on the installer.
*These file types were introduced in MATLAB R2013a.
Users without an Internet connection can install hardware support packages by following the download instructions.
Capabilities and Features
Wireless Testbench™ Support Package for NI™ USRP™ radios offers seamless integration and configuration of NI USRP radios within the Wireless Testbench environment. This package includes a dedicated USRP hardware driver (UHD) and pre-configured FPGA bitstreams.
This support package with NI USRP hardware empowers users to perform signal transmission and reception. It facilitates spectrum monitoring and the testing of wideband wireless systems. Additionally, high-rate signal capture enables the training of deep-learning models for wireless applications.
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 work with standards-based signals like 5G, WLAN, and DVB-S2 at their native rates and custom signals at desired rates with hardware-accelerated resampling
The support package enables you to integrate custom IP blocks such as filters, synchronizers, and more into the signal processing chain on the USRP FPGA (with HDL Coder).
