פיתוח מערכות תקשורת ו-RF באמצעות כלי MathWorks

Creating innovative designs and taking them to market quickly is the key to success in a competitive industry. For future wireless communications, new enabling technologies (e.g. Massive MIMO, mmWave) and new use-cases (e.g. IoT, V2V/V2X) are driving innovation in this sector and are key considerations of the future 5G. To enable companies to be successful, MathWorks has invested in developing a platform that supports the diverse range of technologies now needed to be considered in wireless development, and integrated them into a flow that enables algorithm development and system simulation of future concepts; the creation of real-time prototypes and testbeds; and the generation and verification of production-quality code. This session gives an overview of the technologies that make up the platform on which to build future wireless systems.

We will discuss what are the latest features and technologies in DSP and Communications System Toolboxes. Also how best to use these capabilities for efficient simulation of wireless systems. Lastly, we will show relevant capabilities introduced in latest MATLAB releases.

LTE System Toolbox and WLAN System Toolbox provide standard-compliant functions for the design, simulation, analysis, and testing of LTE and Wireless LAN communications systems. This session gives an introduction to LTE System Toolbox and WLAN System Toolbox, showing how they address key application areas: design verification, end-to-end simulation, signal generation and analysis, signal information recovery. This session will detail the 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 standards supported, show how to measure metrics like EVM, BER and ACLR, and illustrate how to connect to test and measurement equipment and software-defined radio (SDR) devices, allowing real waveforms to be analyzed and decoded in MATLAB.

RF blockset and RF toolbox are the 'Swiss-knife' for RF computation and simulations in MATLAB. This session will show how to do system models to include RF impairments, with an example on developing DPD algorithms together with PA models and testing with realistic stimulus.

Research and development of 5G technology is well under way. New modulation schemes, MIMO configurations and frequency bands are all candidates to form part of the new generation of mobile communication systems. Flexible and capable simulation platforms are needed to model, assess and develop these candidate technologies. MATLAB provides a solution for research and development of advanced wireless communication systems. MathWorks engineers will demonstrate how MATLAB can help you model existing 4G systems and investigate their evolution to 5G. You will learn how MATLAB capabilities can be used to investigate the key evolving technologies that will form the core of 5G systems.

With the approach of 5G and massive antenna arrays, one of the most challenging problems for MIMO and phased array design is modelling the antennas. During this session we will be modelling antenna elements and analysing antenna array patterns, array steering and beamforming. Later, we will show how to integrate the array into a system by modelling hybrid beamforming architectures for communications systems.
