Join the NI Wireless team and Cyth for a hands-on technical seminar covering:

• SDR fundamentals and USRP architecture

• IQ data and sampling

• Application development with gNU Radio and LabVIEW

• Intro to FPGA and RFNoC design

RSVP here

Full Session Overview:

This free workshop will provide attendees with a thorough, practical, and hands-on introduction to the USRP SDR hardware and the open-source software toolchain (Linux, C++, Python, UHD, and GNU Radio). Attendees will have access to laptop computers and USRP radios, and will perform various classroom activities.

Workshop topics will include:

• Overview of the hardware and the architecture of the USRP software-defined radios

• How to get started using a new USRP device; installing the UHD driver and GNU Radio framework

• Using the UHD device driver; programming the USRP from C++ using the UHD API

• Using GNU Radio with the USRP

• Creating and running flowgraphs from both GRC and Python; managing USRP FPGA images

• Viewing packetized I/Q data with Wireshark

• Debugging common technical problems and network configuration problems

• Flow-control errors and how to mitigate them; various practical RF issues

• High-rate networking and I/Q data streaming; host system performance tuning

• USRP device recovery; various operational best-practices
