Meet the Family: RFNoC Blocks in UHD - Overview and Applications

Explore the RF Network-on-a-Chip (RFNoC) processing framework and its capabilities in this conference talk from GNU Radio Conference 2021. Discover the major overhaul of the USRP Hardware Driver (UHD) 4.0 release, which enables high-throughput digital signal processing on NI/Ettus Research's Universal Software Radio Peripheral products. Learn about the architecture that allows users to define algorithms by connecting DSP elements, or RFNoC blocks, in a flowgraph running within the USRP's FPGA. Gain insights into the highly performant RFNoC blocks shipped with the UHD driver, including their capabilities and available options. Understand different techniques for deploying blocks within the RFNoC flowgraph to maximize software and hardware flexibility. Delve into topics such as mathematical computation, KeepInN Block, SplitStream Block, Switchboard Block, FFT Block, and Phosphor Block. Acquire valuable tips and tricks for working with RFNoC blocks in your applications.
