RTL-SDR Now Supported by MATLAB

The Communications System Toolbox in MATLAB 2013b now supports the RTL-SDR dongle. MATLAB is a scientific computing software product which scientists and engineers use for complex technical computations and simulations.

The RTL-SDR radio support package enables you to design wireless receivers using real world signals. Using Communications System Toolbox™ in conjunction with an RTL-SDR USB radio, you can design and prototype systems that process real-time wireless signals in MATLAB® and Simulink®.

Wireless engineers, students, and hobbyists can learn to receive and decode real-world radio signals using this low cost RTL-SDR hardware connected to your computer.

Key Features:

  • RTL-SDR radio as an I/O peripheral to receive streaming RF signals
  • Configurable center frequency and sample rate
  • NooElec™ NESDR Mini USB Stick (R820T) and NooElec NESDR Nano USB Stick (R820T) SDR devices with frequency range 30MHz – 1.8GHz
  • Compatible with other RTL-SDR USB radios (eg., Terratec T-Stick E4000)
  • Several application examples for getting started:
    • FM Mono / Stereo with RTL-SDR
    • FRS Receiver with RTL-SDR
    • Spectral Analysis with RTL-SDR radio
    • Frequency offset calibration with RTL-SDR

I can’t download the hardware support package for the rtl. I have a 30 day trial of matlab/simulink but this doesn’t allow me to download the bsp!

Sir,
I would like to bought RTL-sdr ,Which one is best modem to buy give some suggests with their description.

Matlab for Students is pretty much the same, with lots os packages already included, and costs U$89, what is really affordable

“MATLAB is unaffordable by normal humans.”
It is freely available on many torrents.

hello~ I know it’s been a long time, but I wonder where to find these torrents?

Interesting, but MATLAB is unaffordable by normal humans. Maybe this can be ported/used to/with the likes of open source alternatives like Octave or Scilab, etc?
