Current product documentation

New features and changes introduced in this version are

Bi-Gaussian Doppler and Asymmetrical Jakes Doppler Spectra Objects Added

The doppler.bigaussian function creates a bivariate Gaussian Doppler spectrum object, which is used in the DopplerSpectrum property of a channel object.

Channel Objects and Channel Visualization Tool Enhanced

Channel objects and channel visualization tool are enhanced to support different Doppler spectra per path.

ricianchan Object Enhanced

All paths now have the option of being Rician-faded (previously only the first path of a Rician multipath fading channel could be Rician-faded).

Each path can be assigned different values for the K and fdLOS parameters.

See the ricianchan reference page for details.

Demos Modeling Various Channels Added

New demos modeling COST 207, GSM/EDGE, and HF are added.

These can be accessed through the demos pane of the Help browser, or by typing chandemo_cost207 and chandemo_hf at the command line.

Eye Diagram Object Added

New eye diagram object is added, that uses color to convey how often a trace traverses a point.

Modem Objects Added

New PAM, OQPSK, DPSK, MSK, and General QAM modem objects are added.

Theoretical BERs Added to BERTool and Enhanced in bercoding

Theoretical BERs added to BERTool for hard-decision and soft-decision decoding with AWGN. Existing results in bercoding are made more precise.

New stdchan Object

The new stdchan object constructs channel objects according to standardized channel models, including COST 207, GSM/EDGE, 3GPP, and ITU-R.

bchenc Enhanced

The bchenc function now runs faster, especially for longer codeword lengths.
