Abstract :
This paper describes a generic simulation workbench for multiple antenna Software Defined Radio (SDR) systems in MATLAB or OCTAVE, for both Windows and Unix/Linux operating systems. The workbench is functionally modularized into blocks and sub-blocks with a common interface for the convenience of modification and reconfiguration. Currently, it accommodates a variety of transmission schemes, including single-carrier multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM), multi-carrier MIMO, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), filtered multitone (FMT), which have extensive applications in modern communication technologies, e.g., WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n, WiMAX, UWB, 3G cellular network, ADSL, DVB, etc.
