Integration with SDRs

5G Toolkit can be easily integrated with most of the available software-defined radios (SDRs) boards which support Python-based application programming interfaces (APIs). The users can replace the wireless channel models from our tutorials or projects with the SDR for simulations and prototyping. Currently, we have integrated and tested only with the following SDRs:

  • Xilinx Zynq UltraScale + RFSoC Boards and other similar boards
  • NI USRPs (B200, B205-mini, B210)
  • Analog Devices SDR Boards such as Pluto, Phasor

Note

In any form, the above list of SDRs is not exhaustive. There are many SDRs outside of above list which can be integrated with the 5G Toolkit but are not included solely because of their unavailability with us at this point of time.

This section contains tutorials that demonstrate how to integrate various SDRs with the 5G Toolkit. Our goal is to provide at least one tutorial for each SDR family mentioned above. For SDRs belonging to the same family, the implementation process should be similar. However, if you encounter any difficulties while integrating your SDR with our toolkit, please don’t hesitate to contact us at toolkit5G@gigayasa.com. We would be glad to assist you.

Note

All the tutorials will be organized in three scripts where

  • Script-1: End to End emulation using a single SDR.

  • Script-2: Transmitter side script implemented over SDR-1.

  • Script-3: Receiver side script implemented over SDR-2.

Please download all the SDR based tutorials from here: 5G on SDRs
