Introduction

What Is the Communications Blockset?

The Communications Blockset is a collection of Simulink^® blocks for designing and simulating communication systems. With the Communications Blockset, you can design models in the form of block diagrams, using simple click-and-drag mouse operations. You can run simulations on a model at the push of a button, and change parameters while the simulation is running.

The Communications Blockset contains ready-to-use blocks to model various processes within communication systems, including

• Signal generation
• Source coding
• Error-correction
• Interleaving
• Modulation/demodulation
• Transmission along a channel
• Synchronization

In addition, you can create specialized blocks, to implement your own algorithms.

All the power of MATLAB^® is available to you when you use the Communications Blockset. You can run simulations from the command line and invoke MATLAB expressions and M-files.
