MATLAB and Simulink for Wireless and Wired Communications Systems

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.”
