Matlab Question - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in 2010 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2010, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I want to capture various signals using a digitiser (A/D) sampling card, which is fed from the output of my receiving system. I then want to analyse these signals. For example, I want to correlate different versions of the signal, and perform ambiguity analysis etc. I believe Matlab is the best package for this analysis? My question is: How does one generate the required matrix of input valves (which represents the captured input signal) that Matlab operates on? Effectively I will have the input signal converted to digital, but how then do I take it to Matlab to perform the signal processing?

Many thanks in advance.

If you have a serial port interface on your A/D, you could use the computer's serial port to acquire data into matlab.

About RF Cafe Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Webmaster: Kirt Blattenberger, BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity.
