I want to model the algorithms in MATLAB to see if the performance of
the USRP can be improved via increased bitwidths, more cordic stages,
changes to the filters, etc. Since MATLAB code is easier to change and
simulate (for me at least) and the timing doesn't matter, simulating
with MATLAB seemed like the better way to model.

I am open to any suggestions you have on how to go about this.

Thanks,
Kyle
