MATHWORKS - Real Time Over the Air Communications Links with Matlab/Simulink
Free lunch AND free gear provided!
Seating is limited to 50 students only.
In this talk we show how you can transmit and receive over-the-air signals with MATLAB and a variety of hardware, such as RTL-SDR, ADALM-PLUTO (PlutoSDR), and USRP. We will work with applications like broadcast, FM, ADS-B (aircraft tracking), and QPSK. We show how you can build up your own wireless communications link, learning practical receiver design in the process.
After the talk, we will conduct a workshop for up to 50 attendees to download the RTL-SDR driver to your personal laptops. We will give you an RTL-SDR radio to keep, walk you through the install process, and launch several applications to ensure proper installation. To participate in this workshop, you must have MATLAB R2017b or later loaded on your laptop, and you must also have Communications Toolbox loaded in your MATLAB install.
