Description

A learner-friendly, practical and example driven book, Wireless Communication Systems in Matlab gives you a solid background in building simulation models for wireless systems in Matlab. This book, an essential guide for understanding the basic implementation aspects of a wireless system, shows how to simulate and model such a system from scratch. The implemented simulation models shown in this book provide an opportunity for an engineer to understand the basic implementation aspects of modeling various building blocks of a wireless communication system. It presents the key topics with the required theoretical background along with the implementation details in the form of Matlab scripts.

    • This is because, the sinc function given in the book is conflicting with the inbuilt sinc function from the installed Matlab packages.
      You could rename the sinc function (that is coded in the book) to something else (say ‘my_sinc’) and give it a try.

  1. Hello Mr. Mathuranathan, I appreciate your contribution on this blog and please help me with a matlab code to generate BER performance of all block codes and convolutional code in AWGN or reyleigh channel using MPSK or MQAM

  2. Dear Sir , Do I need Matlab (and different toolboxes) to run the code given in the book? Can I use Octave instead to run this code . In octave I can get not all but most of the related required libraries.

    Thanks
    Anand

    • Hello Mr.Anand,
      You do not need different toolboxes for executing the scripts shown in this book. Even the communication toolbox is not needed. Basic Matlab installation is enough.

      I have written this book in such a way that enables the reader to understand nitty-gritty details of each aspect. Programs are built from scratch.

      I have not tested the scripts on Octave, but I believe it should work given its similarity to Matlab.
