COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN AND MODELING WITH SIMULINK
Course Highlight:
In the design of large and complex digital systems, it is often necessary to have one device communicate digital information to and from other devices. One advantage of digital information is that it tends to be far more resistant to transmitted and interpreted errors than information symbolized in an analog medium. This accounts for the clarity of digitally-encoded telephone connections, high-speed digital communication networks, wireless and wireline telephone transmission systems, modems, compact discs, etc and for much of the enthusiasm in the engineering community for digital communications technology. Digital communication systems are basic workhorses behind the Information Age.
This 2 day course intends to provide a working introduction to the basic topics in analog and digital communication systems. Using real-world examples, this course provides instruction on how to design end-to-end communication systems with SIMULINK, the Communications Blockset and the Signal Processing Blockset.
Course Objective:
The objective is to introduce general knowledge for participants to use SIMULINK, the Communications Blockset and the Signal Processing Blockset to design common communication systems. The course provides a variety of exercises using MATLAB & SIMULINK.
