C#/MATLAB Real-Time Data Analysis/Capture System

Objective

To design a system integrating proprietary hardware peripherals with a customized desktop application aimed at characterizing RF signals within electromagnetic environments. This involved utilizing MATLAB, C#, and leveraging a Spectrum Analyzer along with its software drivers to develop a bespoke desktop application. The goal was to create an application capable of displaying, storing, transferring, and validating data collected during Electromagnetic Interference tests.

Software and Hardware

Hardware

  • Agilent Spectrum Analyzer – measures/capture RF signal data for processing
  • Custom RF extenders and repeaters – allows testers to dynamically create a variety of test environments accross spectrum

Software

  • Windows 7 – host for software
  • MATLAB
  • Visual Studio 2010
  • Agilent Spectrum Analyzer Drivers and SDK
