Bluetooth Voice Simulink^® Model
by Stuart McGarrity
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology that enables easy interconnection of mobile computers, mobile phones, headsets, personal digital assistants and computer peripherals without the need for cables. When designing Bluetooth systems and semiconductors, it is crucial to simulate and test them in the presence of interference from these other devices. Simulink^® enables you to simulate the behavior of their devices and carryout such tests before commencing costly hardware and embedded software design. This article presents a Simulink model of a mobile phone and headset voice communication link. read more

Product Information

Instrument Control Toolbox support for TekVISA
Tektronix, Inc. and The MathWorks now provide connectivity between Tektronix mid- and high-performance lines of oscilloscopes and MATLAB. This interface was created by adding support for TekVISA, the Tektronix implementation of the VISA standard, to the Instrument Control Toolbox. read more

DSP Blockset
The DSP Blockset is a Simulink block library that provides the algorithmic foundation for many applications in speech and audio processing, telephony, wireless and broadband communications, computer peripherals, radar/sonar, and medical electronics. It contains blocks for filter design, including adaptive and multirate filter design, spectral and parametric estimation, linear algebra and matrix math, signal management and operations, and transforms, among others. read more

New API for Stateflow
A new API for Stateflow 4.2 provides convenient programmatic access to Stateflow^®. Through individual MATLAB commands or scripts of commands, you can manipulate Stateflow objects (machines, charts, states, boxes, functions, notes, transitions, junctions, data, events, and targets) to perform actions that were previously only available through the Stateflow graphical interfaces. This includes constructing new diagrams "from scratch" and modifying existing ones. read more

Third Party Product: PowerDAQ PCI-based Data Acquisition Products from United Electronic Industries Inc. (UEI)
MATLAB users can communicate directly with UEI's PowerDAQ hardware using the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox with a driver that is provided with the PowerDAQ Software Suite. This enables you to bring data directly into MATLAB for analysis, visualization, and modeling. read more
