4	4	This tutorial describes how to use RFNoC 802.11ad preamble processing blocks with Sivers 60GHz front-ends on COSMOS SandBox1.
5	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 https://www.orca-project.eu/orca-at-the-imec-technology-forum. 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. Detailed information about the project can be found at https://www.orca-project.eu/millimeter-wave-open-experimentation-platform/.

7	9	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 Switche boxes as shown in the figure are used to select between X310 and RFSoC. RF switch commands are explained at https://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/wiki/testing/services/rf_switch. To select X310s as baseband processing units, all the switches in the RF switch boxes are configured to port 1.
