Course Overview

Using hands-on examples, this one-day course demonstrates the use of MathWorks products to design common communication systems. The emphasis is on designing end-to-end communication systems using Simulink®, Communications Blockset™, and Signal Processing Blockset™. Topics include:

  • Modeling using Communications Blockset
  • Analyzing the bit error rate (BER) of a communication system
  • Adding channel impairments
  • Designing receiver algorithms

Prerequisite:

MATLAB Fundamentals, Signal Processing with MATLAB, and Signal Processing with Simulink, or working experience with MATLAB, Simulink, and Signal Processing Toolbox.
