Software Defined Radio Testbed Alex Dolan Mohammad Khan AhmetUnsal Jihyung Ha
SDR Overview • RF system that does most of the signal processing in software • This allows huge versatility from one piece of hardware • Allows for development of communication systems without hardware constraints • GPS, FM Radio, HDTV, RFID, Wi-Fi capability
SDR Example Simulink Parameters Simulink Parameters
Requirements • Test limitations of MATLAB & Simulink as a platform for SDR • Use of Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2 (USRP2) • Create a SDR testbed • Implement and test various communication algorithms • Open ended project
Constraints • Time to Implement • Lack of experience • Tied to Specific Hardware and Software • USRP2 • MATLAB and Simulink
Schedule 10/12/2010 11/19/2010 12/3/2010
Cost Estimate • 2 USRP2s (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) in the lab • 2 new computers ordered • All software is provided by the university • All other necessary hardware is owned by the university • Labor cost: $20/hr, 700 hours
