MATLAB: Can I select the antenna port to use on daughterboards using USRP Support Package

Question

Some daughterboards interfaced with USRP hardware have more than one RF antenna port (for example TX/RX, RX1, RX2). I would like to specify which RF port is used by the USRP Transmitter and Receiver blocks from within the block parameters.

Answer 1

As of MATLAB R2019a, the ability to access a different antenna port (other than the default) is not available for Transmitter and Receiver blocks in Communications Toolbox Support Package for USRP.

This is a known limitation. There are no workarounds.
