Through the use of MATLAB, systems behavior can be predicted and analyzed in conditions as close to practical as possible. Of special interest to the study of wireless systems is MATLAB’s Communications Toolbox. This Toolbox can be used to simulate, evaluate and analyze an entire wireless system from end to end.\u00a0 Models are developed to include the entire system, from the baseband signal conditioning, to modulation schemes, through the effects of stochastic radio channels, and finally to demodulation and error calculations. Having the ability to use MATLAB’s Communications Toolbox gives the aspiring wireless communications engineer a solid background for future investigation in this fast- expanding field.\t\u00a0\tIV.\u00a0\t\u00a0\tA. \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0 Overview of the Communications Toolbox\t\t\tOpen MATLAB and familiarize yourself with the Default Layout, which includes the Current Directory, Command History and Command Window.\u00a0 You will be working primarily in the Command Window, but the other windows may provide useful information in the future.\t\t\tThe Command Window is a command line environment, much like DOS or UNIX.\u00a0 You will type all commands in this lab at the >> prompt.\u00a0 Following each command, you will need to hit the Enter key.\u00a0 Also, if you are working in the Citrix environment, there may be a lag in MATLAB’s response.\u00a0 Some operations are VERY processor intensive “\ufffd just be patient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
