Phased Array System Toolbox provides tools for designing and simulating phased array and beamforming systems for wireless communication, radar, sonar, and acoustic applications. You can design multibeam and electronically steerable antennas by configuring array geometries, including subarrays, and adjusting element parameters. You can synthesize beamforming patterns through optimization and AI techniques.
For communication systems like 5G, 5G-advanced, SATCOM, and WLAN, the toolbox provides algorithms for simulating hybrid and digital beamforming architectures for massive MIMO and millimeter-wave systems. You can simulate multipath fading environments, model reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and generate signal waveforms.
For radar, sonar, and acoustic systems, the toolbox includes pulsed waveforms and algorithms for monostatic and multistatic topologies, space-time adaptive processing (STAP), direction of arrival (DOA) for localization, matched filtering, and image formation.
Model and analyze the behavior of active or passive electronically scanned arrays (AESA or PESA), including the array geometry, subarrays, custom antenna elements, polarization, and perturbed elements.
Model narrowband and broadband digital beamforming algorithms. Suppress interferences with adaptive beamformers. Use STAP techniques to remove clutter. Estimate DOA of incident signals. Simulate nearfield beamforming with spherical wavefronts.
Design pulsed waveforms, continuous waveforms, and matched filters. Analyze waveform ambiguity functions. Synthesize baseband IQ data for signals and target returns for monostatic and bistatic arrays.
Model multibeam and electronically steerable antennas for wireless and satellite communication systems. Partition beamforming architectures into baseband and RF subsystems.
Simulate end-to-end radar systems. Process parameters of returned signals with DOA and time of arrival (TOA) estimates to improve localization of targets.
Model sonar systems from source to receiver including the effects of target reflection, multipath propagation, and noise interference. Simulate beamforming for spatial audio systems.
Perform matched filtering, stretch processing, pulse compression, pulse integration, range and Doppler estimation, and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection.
Speed up simulations and applications with generated C/C++, or with dataflow domains in Simulink. Follow reference workflows to generate HDL code from Simulink models.
Estimate the locations of targets and devices with a combination of time of arrival (TOA), time difference of arrival (TDOA), time sum of arrival (TSOA), and angle of arrival (AOA) techniques for wireless networks as well as monostatic and multistatic radar systems.
“Hybrid beamforming system design for 5G massive MIMO arrays using MATLAB, Phased Array System Toolbox, and 5G Toolbox helped us in evaluating various hardware options as well as their performance in realistic 5G scenarios.”
