Kit enables visualisation of DSP applications
A new DSP developers kit kit enables systems and software engineers to develop and verify DSP algorithms in one integrated environment, and therefore produce designs more efficiently.
Toolbox marries acquisition hardware and software
Users of Keithley Instruments' data acquisition boards can now communicate with their devices directly from Matlab via an interface provided with the Matlab Data Acquisition Toolbox.
The code generation capability enables faster simulation on multicore computers and the expanded modelling library lets wireless and communications engineers simulate next-generation wireless systems that use higher bandwidth and more complicated signal processing technologies.
Communications Blockset 4 offers expanded fixed-point support implemented for library blocks that are useful for engineers developing 3G and 4G wireless communications systems.
Additionally, a new multiple-input and multiple-output/orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO/OFDM) demo highlights the use of Embedded Matlab functions for implementing space-time block codes.
MIMO, OFDM and space-time block codes are being used in the development of WiMAX broadband wireless systems scheduled for widespread marketplace introduction in 2009.
Communications Blockset is also being used by aerospace and defence engineers to develop next-generation radars and electronic warfare systems.
Communications Blockset 4 is available immediately for the Windows, Linux, Solaris and Macintosh platforms.
UK list prices start at GBP 700.
