SLBE-G: Signal Processing with Simulink

Note: A 1 hour test session will be scheduled one day prior to the first day of class. This session is to verify that the visual and audio connection is working properly on your computer. The required product software should be installed for the test session. It is highly recommended that you attend this session to ensure a successful and timely class start.

This three-day course uses basic modeling techniques and tools to show how to develop Simulink^® block diagrams for signal processing applications. Topics include:

What is Simulink?
Using the Simulink interface
Modeling single-channel and multi-channel discrete dynamic systems
Implementing sample-based and frame-based processing
Modeling mixed-signal (hybrid) systems
Developing custom blocks and libraries
Modeling condition-based systems
Performing spectral analysis with Simulink
Integrating filter designs into Simulink
Modeling multirate systems
Incorporating external code
Automating modeling tasks
