Simulation Lab (G214): Physical Layer Simulation with Matlab/Simulink

For teaching purposes, a classroom licence of Matlab/Simulink including the Communication and Signal Processing Toolbox, is available. It is used for physical layer simulations. Students learn to work with Matlab/Simulink and to analyse the effect of various algorithms (modulation, channel coding etc.) on actual communication systems. For this purpose, they can develop and analyse their own models within lab exercises.
