and user interface operations (e.g., modulation/demodulation,coding/decoding, interleaving/deinterleaving, etc …) without exceeding the product’s bill ofmaterials (BOM) target. This processor must therefore, be fast and powerful enough, but not toocapable, since this will eventually drive up the component’s cost.A straight forward comparison of traditional communication system design and aUSRP/LabVIEW-based design follows. The USRP performs the traditional analog signalconditioning functions required of almost any radio, the required signal conversion (ADC andDAC), and then performs the rate conversion necessary to provide in-phase and quadrature (I &Q) signal samples, both to and from, the processor. In a USRP/LabVIEW-based system

The second is for translating systems and uses an Axis. ● v associated Y[v] index. If negative, the constant number -1-v (~v) is used. ● loc tail location, in the form [x,y]. ● angle angle in which to point. ● A the axis along which to move. ● rest the point along the axis to call home. ● scale value scaling factor.
