SDR_Matlab_OFDM_802.11a

This simple OFDM demo is based on IEEE 802.11a OFDM format for testing SDR hardware.

Using Software Designed Radio (SDR) to transmit OFDM signals at 5 GHz.

Transmitter and Receiver hardware : Zedboard (Xilinx Zynq®-7000) + AD9361 (Analog Device-FMCOMMS3)

Software needed :

Matlab R2016a
support package for Xilinx Zynq-Based Radio (R2016a version)

Before executing this code, please follow this tutorial to install support package for Xilinx Zynq-Based Radio in Matlab.

Code Structure :

Please open multiple Matlab windows to run Hardware_TX.m and Hardware_RX.m respectively.

Payload

TX signal

TX RX Hardware Parameters

Center Frequency	5 GHz
Baseband Sample Rate (Bandwidth)	20 MHz
Ts (Sampling time)	50 ns
Samples Per Frame	3000
PC Host IP address	192.168.3.1
TX IP address	192.168.3.2
RX IP address	192.168.3.3

The way to change Hardware IP / Mac address

Edit newip.sh file in SD card

# Flush existing config
ip addr flush dev eth0
ip link set dev eth0 down
# Set up new config
ip addr add 192.168.3.3/24 dev eth0
ip link set eth0 address 00:0A:35:00:01:23
ip route add default via 192.168.3.1
ip link set dev eth0 up

Then, use router DHCP hand setting mode to distribute network configuration parameters :
