      Verify 5G System Performance Using Xilinx RFSoC and Avnet RFSoC Development Kit Highlights

      Matt Brown, Avnet

      Ethernet-based connectivity to MATLAB® and Simulink® allows capture, measure, and characterization of RF performance with the Avnet® Zynq™ UltraScale+ RFSoC Development kit.

      Well, where this fits in our block diagram is taking the place of the baseband processor, the RF sampling data converters, and the digital front end and putting that into one device. We've been doing this for a number of years, abstracting the hardware away. We were kind of looking ahead and looking at some of the problems that people are trying to solve. One of them was having multiple chips dedicated to a single application and wanting to have an environment where we can model those, simulate, but then also use code generation to speed up the process of getting these into prototype.

      In the case of RFSoC, we recognize that it's intended for largely a wireless application base. And most people are using wireless applications are doing things in MATLAB. So what we created is an intuitive app built natively on top of MATLAB. What we developed using MATLAB is a pretty comprehensive user interface. And this sits on top of MATLAB allowing you to work at the system level.

      Now what we use in the background is something called MATLAB System Objects. This is basically in MATLAB an object oriented way of programming. And for large systems like this, it makes your life a whole lot easier because you can start creating classes of algorithms. Now that we're working in MATLAB and we've got sort of all the algorithmic power behind us of calculating things in MATLAB, we can just start using the data converters and start characterizing them without having to write specific low level driver code.

      In terms of 5G waveforms, they're arguably more complex to cook up or to create 5G from The MathWorks of a 5G toolbox, we have a way inside of our tool to link to the 5G toolbox. So anything that you can create inside of that toolbox, we can easily bring into this application.
