Spectrum Monitoring
R2026bConfigure your NI™ USRP™ radio as a preamble detector or energy detector to detect and capture specific signals from the air. You can specify standard-based or custom waveforms for detection. Use the captured data to analyze, simulate, test, and validate wireless systems.
Objects
preambleDetector | Configure SDR as preamble detector (Since R2022a) |
energyDetector | Configure SDR as energy detector (Since R2023b) |
