MathWorks Introduces 6G Exploration Library at IMS 2024 Conference
Company showcases new developments as part of broader educational initiatives on 6G and Artificial Intelligence.
June 10, 2024, Washington, D.C. — MathWorks, a prominent developer of mathematical computing software, has announced its participation in the upcoming IMS 2024 conference. This industry-leading event, which attracts over 500 companies and a multitude of RF and microwave professionals, will take place next week in Washington, D.C. MathWorks intends to highlight its latest advancements, particularly in 6G technologies, through various demos, workshops, and educational seminars.
Exhibit Booth Demonstrations
MathWorks personnel will conduct several live demonstrations at Booth #2139 in Hall B, primarily focusing on wireless communications workflows that leverage MATLAB® and Simulink®. Demonstrations will cover a variety of topics including:
-
6G Waveform Exploration: This demo will introduce the new 6G Exploration Library, showcasing how engineers can design and analyse 6G waveform candidates. Features include configuring waveforms, connecting MATLAB to RF instruments or software-defined radios (SDRs), and performing over-the-air transmission and signal quality measurements.
-
Wideband Radar and Communication Waveform Classification: The session will demonstrate real-time systems for identifying 5G New Radio (NR) and RADAR signals using Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRPs) combined with deep learning. Various MATLAB products including Deep Learning Toolbox™, Wireless Testbench™, Image Processing Toolbox™, and Communications Toolbox™ will be featured.
-
5G Waveform Design and Validation: Attendees will learn to generate 5G NR test waveforms using MATLAB apps such as the 5G Toolbox™ and Instrument Control Toolbox™, then transmit and analyse them using Keysight test equipment.
-
RF Filter Measurement and Behavioural Modelling: This presentation will show how to control instruments and acquire data in MATLAB for analysis and post-processing using RF Toolbox.
Industry Workshops
MathWorks’ experts are also set to participate in two significant industry workshops:
-
Linearisation of RF Power Amplifiers for Wideband Applications: Scheduled for Tuesday, June 18, this session will cover advanced linearisation techniques for RF power amplifiers used in 5G, WLAN, SatCom, and radar systems. The workshop, featuring experts from MathWorks, Qorvo, Rohde & Schwarz, and AMCAD, will discuss combining cutting-edge PA measurements with behavioural models for optimisation.
-
FPGA-Accelerated Deep Learning for 5G FR2 Channel Estimation: On Thursday, June 20, this workshop will explore how convolutional neural networks and FPGA acceleration can improve channel estimation accuracy under challenging conditions. Presenters include specialists from MathWorks, Rohde & Schwarz, Avnet, and Fujikura.
Microapps Seminars
MathWorks will also lead multiple “Microapps” seminars across various topics, two of which include:
-
AI Classification of Waveform Types: A seminar on the application of AI for distinguishing between 5G NR and RADAR signals, presented by MathWorks’ Senior Engineering Manager Robin Getz on Wednesday, June 19.
-
AI-based Digital Predistortion in MATLAB: Set to follow on the same day, this session will compare traditional Volterra series-based DPD systems with AI-driven DPD models in reducing adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), presented by Mike McLernon, Principal Technical Marketing Engineer at MathWorks.
