Equivalent Baseband Simulation

Single-carrier RF simulation of chains of 2-port cascades

Use the RF Blockset™ equivalent baseband block library to perform discrete-time simulations of single-carrier cascaded networks. You can use these blocks in digital signal processing to estimate the impact of RF phenomena on overall system performances.

Equivalent Baseband - Highlights
  • Cascaded Subsystems
    2-port amplifiers, mixers, and lumped-element passive filters; series and shunt resistors, capacitors, and inductors; coaxial, waveguide, microstrip, parallel-plate, RLCG, and two-wire transmission lines
  • Network Parameter Data
    Importing and exporting S-parameters, Y-parameters, Z-parameters, and Touchstone data files; noise data, nonlinearity data
  • Visualization
    Log-log plots, semilog plots, and Smith® Charts from network data; transfer functions
  • Applications
    Radar systems, nonlinear amplifiers, and user defined models

Executable Specification for System Design

Executable Specification for System Design

Use the Model-Based Design methodology to overcome the challenge of exchanging specifications, design information, and verification models between multiple design teams working on a single project. The example uses a simple project: an executable specification that encapsulates information from all teams. The example includes information on how to use Signal Processing Toolbox™, DSP System Toolbox™, Communications Toolbox™, RF Toolbox™, and RF Blockset™ in a multi-domain design.
