Hello everyone!

I want to use LimeSDR-mini like a signal generator.  
The output signal wants to output a burst signal like GSM.  
The data to be transmitted may be random or anything.  
What software can be used to achieve this?

Thanks!

…and by doing a search on the forum for ‘GSM’ - there is a lot of background out there to find.
