MATLAB: How to simultaneously send and receive data using ‘SDRu’ objects

Question

How do I simultaneously send and receive data using 'SDRu' objects?

Answer 1

The SDRu objects allow you to configure both the transmitter and receiver at the same time if we are configuring the SDRu objects from the same instance of MATLAB.

The code below produces the desired workflow:

rx = comm.SDRuReceiver('Platform','B210','SerialNum','30F59A1');
tx = comm.SDRuTransmitter('Platform','B210','SerialNum','30F59A1');
for ctr=1:1000
    % Transmitting data
    step(tx,ones(1000,1));
    % Receiving data
    [data, len] = step(rx);
    if len>0
        disp('Receiving data')
    end
end
release(rx);
release(tx);
