Signal Transmission

Waveform generation and low-level physical layer subcomponents

Satellite Communications Toolbox provides functions and examples to create various standards-based waveforms for the design, modeling, and verification of satellite communications and navigation systems. The toolbox offers these standards-based waveforms.

  • Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Telecommand (TC)

  • CCSDS Telemetry (TM)

  • Digital Video Broadcasting Satellite Second Generation (DVB-S2)

  • Digital Video Broadcasting Satellite Second Generation extended (DVB-S2X)

  • Global Positioning System (GPS)

Use these functions as golden reference for verification when implementing satellite communication and navigation features. You can modify and customize the toolbox functions and use them as custom reference models in your implementation.
