Title:From Concept to Prototype: NI software defined radio platform and 5G overview

National Instruments is collaborating with top researchers focused on 5G wireless communications. The graphical system design approach combines LabVIEW Communications System Design Software with SDR Platform to help researchers innovate faster. By using this approach, engineers can reduce the time form theory to results by testing their designs in a real-world environment.In this session, you will learn the key elements of NI SDR platform and four potential technologies to make 5G a reality, which include massive MIMO, densification of network, new waveforms and mmWave communications.
