Software provides radio physical layer
model
Using Simulink, Matlab and companion products, Sepura engineers developed a complete model of the Tetra physical layer, easily integrating its existing C code libraries into new Simulink models.
Sepura has used Mathworks' Simulink to build a complete model of its Tetra physical layer for developing Tetra radio technology and supporting the Tetra Release 2 European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard Released in 1995, Tetra is used by such public safety organisations as police, fire and military because of its security, reliability and range

To keep pace with market demands for Tetra technology, Sepura chose MathWorks tools to rapidly develop and test systems and algorithms, enabling it to respond competitively to customer needs.
Using Simulink, Matlab and companion products, Sepura engineers developed a complete model of the Tetra physical layer, easily integrating its existing C code libraries into new Simulink models.
The models provide a foundation for the design and development of new products and are also used as the basis for Sepura's contributions to the new Tetra standard.
By using Simulink for design, simulation and testing, Sepura can easily evaluate new algorithms and designs, diagnose and fix faults found in the field by comparing simulation and real-world results and develop new algorithms and systems that help them play a role in the ETSI Tetra Release 2 process.
"The Simulink model of the Tetra physical layer is central to our development efforts", said Dr Martin Popple, Senior Software Engineer at Sepura.
"The MathWorks approach lets us try new ideas and identify problems early on rather than delaying debugging and verification until the system is implemented in hardware".
"Working in Simulink instead of hardware enables us to move development forward quickly".
"Having direct access to the resultant simulation data for post-analysis and visualisation in Matlab is another great advantage".
"Sepura's association with The MathWorks dates back to 2003, when the company used Simulink to help develop its handset products", said Mike Woodward, Communications Industry Manager at The MathWorks.
"Simulink is suitable for the scope of modeling and simulation that Sepura performs to maintain technical excellence and a competitive edge in its marketplace".
