I am working on propagation channel measurement using USRP/GNU radio test-bed. I have started the measurement but stuck due to inability to convert the .dat file to a readable data that will enable me to plot the graph for multi-path and small-scale parameters. Thanks
You have to open the .dat file in MATLAB by clicking the .dat file from the 'Current Folder', then select the output type as 'Numeric Type' and click Import selection. Then you will see the imported .mat file in your workspace.
The method of reading the data file for MATLAB depends on the file format.
If it is a simple ASCII file (the content can be read with a text editor), for example, execute just as follows.
> data=load('filename.dat');
For binary files, it is a bit more complicated because you need specify the binary format. An example is as follows.
> fileID=fopen('filename.dat');
> data=fread(fileID,'int16','ieee-be');
> fclose(fileID);
I do not know about Octave. I wish you good luck.
