My name is Lokesh Kumar , I am master's student. I am doing a similar project in budling a wireless communication with SDR. Can you help me with this

[MikeMcLernon]

Hi Lokesh,

I'd be happy to help out. Do you have any specific questions?

Hello.
Is this project still active? I want to collaborate

[MikeMcLernon]

Hi – Yes, the project is still active. By all means, jump in!

Hi everyone. I’m an electrical engineering student at the University of Waterloo, excited to explore and learn through this project. Looking forward to this

[whoisdinanath]

Is the project still open for discussion?

[MikeMcLernon]

It certainly is -- are you looking to jump in?

Hello everyone, I am Nitish Lingampalle, currently pursuing Electronics and Communication Engineering at Vasavi College of Engineering, Hyderabad, India.

Currently working on this problem statement, I have developed a unidirectional communication system using Pluto SDRs , working on further improvements like half-duplex and full-duplex communication.

Open to discussions on this topic.

[MikeMcLernon]

Hi Nitish -- This is Mike McLernon, from MathWorks. Great news that you have a unidirectional comms link up and running! What modulation technique did you use?

[NitishLingampalle-25]

I have used Frequency Modulation, I am working on digital Modulation techniques like QPSK,OFDM etc.

[NitishLingampalle-25]

Currently, I am experiencing a moderate amount of noise at the receiver end. I will work on noise reduction techniques once I set up the half-duplex and full-duplex communication systems.

[MikeMcLernon]

Sounds good. Are you using existing MATLAB/Simulink examples for these transceiver models? You can find some at https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ug/qpsk-transmitter-and-receiver.html and https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ug/ofdm-transmitter-and-receiver.html.

[NitishLingampalle-25]

Thank you so much for the inputs, sir. I will definitely go through them.
I have designed my own transmitter and receiver models in Simulink, but I have used the predefined blocks to build them.

[Akbar-0]

Hello everyone, I am Akbar, currently undergoing Bachelors in Electrical Engineering at National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan.

I have read the problem statement and undergone some literature review, finding this project a best fit for myself as a newbie in Telecommunications field, but a strong foundation in MATLAB programming. It would be highly appreciated if someone can orient me on how far can I go in this project without the hardware needed?

[MikeMcLernon]

HI Akbar,

I can point you to a very complete MATLAB example that does not use hardware: https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ug/qpsk-transmitter-and-receiver.html.

This example serves as the basis for two additional examples that do include hardware:
https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/usrpradio/ug/qpsk-transmitter-uisng-software-defined-radio-usrp.html
https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/usrpradio/ug/qpsk-receiver-using-software-defined-radio-usrp.html

These three examples should get you going quite nicely.

Best, Mike

[Akbar-0]

Appreciate your guidance! I'll start promptly with this and let's see how far I can make it. Hoping for the best.

Hi, I am a master's student at TU Dresden, Germany and interested to work and collaborate on this project.

[MikeMcLernon]

Hi Shivani -- Thanks for your interest in the project! If you have any questions on your SDR journey, feel free to check in with me.
