MATLAB and Simulink product families help engineers design and simulate communications systems with greater speed and accuracy. Using detailed low-level models and higher-level behavioral abstractions, communications engineers can implement the desired level of model fidelity and run-time performance from within a single environment. MATLAB and Simulink streamline design flows by helping engineers to:
- Design, simulate, and prototype complex wireless systems such as 5G and WLAN
- Develop algorithms on a unified platform for wireless base station/devices and semiconductor chips combining signal processing, analog/mixed-signal, RF, and antennas
- Design SerDes wired communication systems and generate IBIS-AMI models for high-speed digital interconnects
“MATLAB and Simulink provide a unified and efficient system development platform to bridge between analog and digital; software and hardware; and algorithm, implementation, and verification.”
