Testing RF transceiver for FBMC

Good evening everyone!

I'm Malar. Inwas working in the reduction of PAPR .How Can we test the simulated FBMC transmiting waveform in RF transmitter using MATLAB?

Hello Malar,

To test a Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) transmitting waveform in an RF transmitter using MATLAB, you would typically follow these steps:

1. Simulate the FBMC Waveform: You need to generate the FBMC waveform first. MATLAB provides tools to simulate such waveforms using built-in functions.
2. Digital-to-Analog Conversion (DAC): In a real-world scenario, the simulated digital waveform must be converted into an analog signal using a DAC. In MATLAB, you can simulate this process by upsampling and filtering the digital signal to mimic the behavior of a DAC.
3. RF Upconversion: The baseband signal needs to be upconverted to an RF frequency. In MATLAB, you can simulate upconversion by mixing the baseband signal with a carrier signal.
4. Add Channel Effects: Real-world channels introduce effects such as noise, fading, and interference. You can use MATLAB to add these effects to your simulated RF signal.
5. Interface with RF Hardware: If you have access to RF hardware that can be controlled by MATLAB (such as software-defined radios), you can use MATLAB's interfacing capabilities to send your simulated waveform to the hardware for transmission.
