Circuit Envelope Simulation in MATLAB

Circuit envelope simulation of RF system at the MATLAB command line

The circuit envelope simulation technique enables you to perform time-varying harmonic balance analysis of an RF system around multiple carrier frequencies. You can use this technique to simulate RF systems operating with narrowband signals.

Use the rfsystem System object™ and its associated object functions to perform circuit envelope simulation at the MATLAB command line.

Massive MIMO Hybrid Beamforming with RF Impairments

How hybrid beamforming is employed at the transmit end of a massive MIMO communications system, using techniques for both multi-user and single-user systems. The example employs full channel sounding for determining the channel state information at the transmitter. It partitions the required precoding into digital baseband and analog RF components, using different techniques for multi-user and single-user systems. Simplified all-digital receivers recover the multiple transmitted data streams to highlight the common figures of merit for a communications system, namely, EVM, and BER.

RF Impairments for 5G NR Downlink Waveforms

Generate a 5G new radio (NR) downlink waveform with full band allocation. This example also shows how to model RF impairments and compute and visualize the error vector magnitude (EVM) of the generated waveform. The generated waveform contains the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) channel and its associated DM-RS signal, and the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
