| 5 | | RFNoC 802.11ad preamble processing blocks demonstrated in this tutorial were developed by researchers at IMDEA networks institute, Spain, as an extension for EU project ORCA. The extension was named MIllimeter wave SDR based Open experimentation platform (MISO), and the focus was on developing hardware/software for mmWave experimentation on SDRs. Specifically FPGA modules for processing 802.11ad(SC) preamble at scaled down bandwidth were designed and integrated with RFNoC, GNURadio, to be used on USRP X310s.

| | 7 | Setup for the experiment is shown in the figure above. In the benchtop 60GHz setup of SandBox1, either USRP X310 or RFSoC can be used for baseband processing. RF Switches as shown in the figure are used to select between X310 and RFSoC. RF Control commands are explained [here]. To select X310s, all the switches in the RF switch boxes are configured to port 1. |

| | 9 | This experiment uses USRP X310s for baseband processing. Host GNURadio applications on srv3, srv4, send/receive data samples to/from the X310s over 10G Ethernet links. Sivers control software on srv3, srv4 talk to the mmWave front-ends over USB links. |
