MATLAB® for Communications System Design
Dr Houman Zarrinkoub · 2014
This chapter introduces some of the capabilities in MATLAB related to the analysis, design, modeling, simulation, implementation, and verification of communications systems. For modeling and simulation, we can use algorithmic building blocks from the communications system toolbox, either as System objects or as Simulink blocks. Many aspects of physical layer (PHY) processing of mobile standards can be modeled and simulated more efficiently in MATLAB. The chapter attempts to answer the following question: How can MATLAB, a high-level programming language and a design and simulation environment with an extensive library of software toolboxes, help academics and practitioners in the development of mobile and wireless systems?.
