We will demonstrate a toolbox for MATLAB and Simulink which provides a set of tools for interfacing, modeling, and targeting designs using the BytePipe RF System-on-Module from NextGen RF, which is comprised of an Analog Devices integrated RF transceiver ADRV9002 and a Xilinx FPGA. We will also briefly discuss RadioCarbon, a design accelerator RFFE that is coming soon to speed up your time to market.
Overview
We will demonstrate a toolbox for MATLAB and Simulink which provides a set of tools for interfacing, modeling, and targeting designs using the BytePipe RF System-on-Module from NextGen RF, which is comprised of an Analog Devices integrated RF transceiver ADRV9002 and a Xilinx FPGA. We will also briefly discuss RadioCarbon, a design accelerator RFFE that is coming soon to speed up your time to market.
The device interfaces will provide control and data streaming using MATLAB System Objects and Simulink Blocks. The control interface allows for configuration of components included in the Software Development Kit. This includes support for configuration of the Analog Devices ADRV9002 Agile RF Transceiver and Xilinx ZynqMP Baseband Processor functions. Individual settings can be configured independently or as a whole. Design support includes filter/profile wizards, and tools commonly used in modem design.
Key Takeaways
- Find out how engineers can reduce their radio projects time-to-market by using the BytePipe SoM
- Learn how a MATLAB and Simulink toolbox can be utilize with the BytePipe SoM to speed development even further
- See how the BytePipe SoM can be leveraged for modem development as well as a reference design, evaluation board, prototyping platform, or demonstration platform

Elliott Nelson has a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Minnesota State University. Elliott has been in the RF communications industry for 15 years, starting as an RF Engineer designing discrete radios and RF front-ends for low power sensors. This led to the development of several FPGA and RFIC based modules along with expansive knowledge and experience with baseband processing. Elliott continues much of this work today as a principal design engineer at NextGen RF supporting RF system development along with RF hardware and low level firmware for a broad range of RF devices.
