Product Solutions for the DSP/Communications Industry using MATLAB and Simulink
DSPdeveloper, created by SDL and SharcLAB, developed exclusively for BittWare by SDL, both work with MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and Real-Time Workshop to allow you to prototype and test DSP applications on Analog Devices SHARC DSPs, using standard hardware from BittWare. Both products integrate seamlessly with the standard MATLAB environment, allowing a nearly automatic transition from algorithm development using MATLAB and Simulink to executable DSP code. You can develop your applications in the Simulink graphical modeling and simulation environment, and automatically compile, download, and run the algorithms on your BittWare SHARC DSP hardware in real time. Design services are available from SDL to extend and customize these products to meet the special requirements of your application. Users include research and development engineers developing next-generation products and processes, university researchers and instructors, and anyone interested in implementation of DSP solutions.

RadioLab 3G consists of a Simulink blockset, 3G UMTS/W-CDMA, several reference systems, and supporting documentation. It was created to aid in the development of UMTS communication systems for UE (terminal) and UTRAN (basestation). The library contains the key elements for FDD mode simulation such as CRC, segmentation, radio frame equalization, rate matching, and interleaving. Each element has been designed to conform to the appropriate UMTS specification. The product is used by engineers who need to model or design the lower layers of the 3G UMTS FDD system, or who need to develop a familiarity with 3G algorithms and techniques.

SuperNEC is a hybrid Method of Moment (MoM)/Unified Theory of Diffraction (UTD) antenna analysis program. The program allows for the simulation and evaluation of electromagnetic performance of antennas including those mounted on complex platforms across the frequency band. Using the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) protocol, different machines within an organization may be linked together to solve a large problem. Typical end users of SuperNEC include antenna designers, aircraft communication system designers, electromagnetic engineers, wireless LAN planners, and cellular telephone planners. This product uses MATLAB for computation, visualization, and the graphical user interface. This is a standalone application that is deployed using the MATLAB Runtime Server and does not require end users to have MATLAB. Poynting Innovations (PTY) Ltd. www.poynting.co.za
VMlink is a software interface between Simulink and Verilog simulators. Using VMlink, you can connect any model developed with Simulink to the logic circuits written in Verilog-HDL
and co-simulate them. For example, you can give common test inputs to the theoretical design with Simulink and the implementation design on the Verilog simulator, then compare their outputs in Simulink. Yokogawa Electric Corporation www.yokogawa.co.jp
Xilinx System Generator for Simulink enables designers to develop high-performance DSP systems for Xilinx FPGAs. Designers can design and simulate a system using MATLAB, Simulink, and a Xilinx blockset of bit/cycle-true models. The tool will then automatically generate Hardware Description Language (HDL) code mapped to Xilinx pre-optimized algorithms. This HDL design can then be synthesized for implementation in Xilinx Virtex®-II, Virtex and Spartan®-II series FPGAs. As a result, designers can define an abstract representation of a system-level design and easily transform it into a gate-level representation. The Xilinx System Generator for Simulink is particularly useful for DSP, hardware, and system-level engineers who are developing systems with high performance DSP functions in FPGAs.
