DSP Blockset

What Is the DSP Blockset?

Welcome to the DSP Blockset, the premier tool for digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm simulation and code generation.

The DSP Blockset brings the full power of Simulink® to DSP system design and prototyping by providing key DSP algorithms and components in the adaptable block format of Simulink. From buffers to linear algebra solvers, from dyadic filter banks to parametric estimators, the blockset gives you all the core components to rapidly and efficiently assemble complex DSP systems.

The DSP Blockset is dependent upon Simulink, an environment for simulating dynamic systems. If you have never used Simulink before, take some time to get acquainted with its features. Simulink is a model definition environment. You define a model by creating a block diagram that represents the computations of your system or application. Simulink is also a model simulation environment. You can see how your system behaves by simulating the block diagram of your system. All of the blocks in the DSP Blockset are designed for use together with the blocks in the Simulink libraries.

If you are new to Simulink, read the Getting Started section of the documentation in order to better understand the basic functionality. You can also browse through the Simulink documentation to get complete exposure to all of the capabilities of Simulink.

You can use the DSP Blockset and Simulink to develop your DSP concepts, and to efficiently revise and test until your design is production-ready. You can also use the DSP Blockset together with the Real-Time Workshop® to automatically generate code for real-time execution on DSP hardware.
