The transmission of data through a radio transmitter, multipath fading channels, and receiver are simulated.
Simulation is based on the complex baseband representation of the signals.
Bit Error Rate, outage probability, bit error patterns and simulation parameters from the simulation are stored on disk. It can be used for realistic subjective and objective evaluation of prototype hardware, and for the specification of modems for future wireless products. Software simulates transmitter, channel, and receiver. Hardware embodiment for 386 PC or earlier replays bit error pattern in real time on user-provided baseband data with data rates up to 15 Mbps, simulation length up to 100 Mbits. A few full size PC cards are in stock.
