Signal Sources

Every communication system has one or more signal sources. This chapter describes how to use Communications Toolbox to generate random signals, which are useful for simulating noise, errors, or signal sources. The sections are as follows.

White Gaussian Noise
Random Symbols
Random Integers
Random Bit Error Patterns

For more random number generators, see the online reference pages for the built-in MATLAB functions rand and randn.
