THMA8: Accelerating Wireless Modem Design for Real-World Applications

Presentation Abstract
This MicroApp presents a model-based design workflow for the rapid development and prototyping of custom Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modems using MATLAB, Simulink, and National Instruments (NI) USRP radios. The approach uses automated code generation from a behavioral model, and addresses challenges of efficiency and real-world applicability in wireless communication systems. By integrating simulation tools and over-the-air testing capabilities, the workflow significantly reduces the development cycle while maintaining traceability from the behavioral model to the deployed implementation. This workflow provides a seamless transition from theoretical design to practical implementation, offering insights into optimizing design and verification processes.
