I would like to share our mmWave SDR project that hosts RFSoC2x2 at the link below.

The repository includes the source codes for the mmWave SDR developed at the University of South Carolina (USC) for the Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW) platform at North Carolina State University (NCSU) for experimentation in millimeter-wave bands, e.g., 28 GHz and 60 GHz. The SDR functionality relies on the Python codes running in PYNQ and custom programmable logic in the FPGA. We also use the MTS feature for generating in-phase and quadrature signals.

We use these radios to generate a dataset based on a beam-sweeping experiment:

Comments/questions are very welcome.

Best regards,

Thank you, Pynqzen :slight_smile: We upgraded the design with the 28 GHz array and added the support for M-QAM. We couldn’t find time to upgrade it to RFSoC4x2, but I think it could be a nice project if someone is interested.
