Data synchronization simulation using the MATHWORKS Communications Toolbox
Dave Judd · 2002
This paper demonstrates the use of the Communications Toolbox to simulate and test a data synchronizer using an early-late gate technique. The simulation is done in SIMULINK. A two tone FSK signal is generated, passed through an AWGN channel, down converted to baseband and passed to an FM detector. The signal is then synchronized so that the binary information can be extracted from the signal. The utility of the Communications Toolbox to simulate this task is then evaluated.
