Verify Xilinx RFSoC Gen-3 System Performance in mmWave Applications with MATLAB and Simulink

Overview

The Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC integrates multi-giga-sample RF data converters into a programmable SOC architecture. Wireless systems engineers designing with RFSoC need software tools that can interact directly with the RF subsystem to inject test signals and measure hardware performance prior to algorithm development.

In this webinar, engineers from Avnet and MathWorks will demonstrate how to capture, measure, and characterize RF performance in millimeter-wave bands using MATLAB and Simulink and the Avnet mmWave Radio Development Kit with Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen-3.

Highlights

During our presentation, we will demonstrate how to:

• Define RF test criteria for RFSoC Gen-3 with 6 GHz analog bandwidth
• Connect to RFSoC Gen-3 and mmWave RF front-end hardware from MATLAB and Simulink
• Generate 5G test waveforms and analyze captured data to characterize system performance
