Ultrawideband USRP-Based Channel Sounding Utilizing the RFNoC Framework

Sandra, Michiel LU ; Nelson, Christian LU orcid and Johansson, Anders LU orcid (2022) The 2022 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements and Applications (IEEE CAMA)
Abstract
This paper shows how a channel sounder can be built with National Instruments (NI) Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) equipment, featuring onboard FPGA processing and utilizing open-source tools. Compared to other USPR-based channel sounders, our design eases the requirements on the data link between the USRP and the host, limits the measurement data size, and increases the signal-to-noise ratio due to averaging. Furthermore, this paper serves as a proof-of-concept and guide for other researchers seeking to build a channel sounder based on USRP equipment.
