Hi Akshay,
It was great to talk with you about my work and I am glad that you are interested in this project. The attached is the related material. Here are several things I suggest as a starting point.

1. Folder "TestSchematics" include the receiver RF board and DAQ board block diagram and the schematic for the DAQ board. Please understand how the whole receiver system works. Highlight all parts that need be programmed/controlled by the USB FX3 chip.

2. Print out the data sheet of all IC components (you can come to the lab and use our printers) and make a folder for it. Read the data sheet and get familiar with the functionality and performance. Highlight the digital programming part (waveform) of the IC components that need be programmed (e.g. AD8333, etc). You need this information for the programming.

          3. Learn and get familiar with the EZ-USB FX3 interface. More details are here:http://www.cypress.com/?              id=3526&tabID=60939

I suggest download and install all possible develop kits. Play with it. If you need the development kit let me know. Learn how to use C++ to realize the programming and compile to matlab files. If you have any question on this part, let me know what time is good for you next week. I can find someone to help in more details. 

The DAQ and RF boards are designs that have not been published yet, so please keep them confidential. Let me know if you have any question.
Thank you very much and have a wonderful holiday.
Best,
Run
