Learn more about receiving and analyzing wireless signals using RTL-SDR and MATLAB by downloading a free ebook. This package supports NooElec NESDR radios and other RTL-SDR USB radios featuring RTL2832U chips as listed here.

Learn about the pricing and licensing options for buying Communications Toolbox and its required products. Wireless engineers, students, and hobbyists can receive and decode real-world radio signals using Communications Toolbox and RTL-SDR hardware. You can receive and demodulate various wireless signals across a broad frequency range. The RTL-SDR dongle features the Realtek RTL2832U chip, which provides I-Q samples through the USB interface. RTL-SDR is a popular, low cost hardware that can receive wireless signals.

Ability to design standalone SDR applications with an RTL-SDR connected to Raspberry Pi hardware using Raspberry Pi Support Package for Simulink.RTL-SDR radio as an I/O peripheral to receive streaming RF signals.You can also deploy your system on a low cost, single-board computer, such as Raspberry Pi, that has an RTL-SDR attached to it. For example, you can receive and process wireless signals such as FM radio, airplane surveillance signals (ADS-B), and signals from smart meters (water or energy metering devices). With Communications Toolbox™ Support Package for RTL-SDR Radio, you can use MATLAB ® and Simulink ® to design and prototype systems that process real time wireless signals.
