SimRF integrates with Communications System Toolbox and DSP System Toolbox to simulate the effects of RF architectures on system performance.

 

SimRF™ provides a component library and simulation engine for designing RF systems. It includes mixers, amplifiers, S-parameter blocks, and other basic blocks for architectural design and modeling of wireless transceivers. You can connect these components arbitrarily to form diverse architectures and to model system-level impairments. SimRF enables simulation of RF gain, noise, and intermodulation distortion commonly attributed to RF amplifiers. It provides circuit envelope technology for simulating RF impairments uniquely associated with mixers, including image rejection, reciprocal mixing, local oscillator phase offsets, DC conversion, and DC offsets. Equivalent baseband technology is also included, enabling fast simulation of single-carrier cascaded systems.
