MATLAB and Simulink help engineers connect phased array design decisions to system-level performance outcomes across wireless infrastructure, satellite communications (SATCOM) and non-terrestrial networks (NTN), consumer electronics, and Integrated Sensing andCommunication (ISAC) systems. Evaluate how array architecture, beamforming algorithms, propagation environments, RF impairments, and calibration approaches affect coverage, capacity, localization accuracy, interference mitigation, and deployment readiness before hardware implementation.
With MATLAB and Simulink:
- Explore phased array architectures, element patterns, beam coverage, and subarray configurations
- Develop and evaluate beamforming, direction-of-arrival estimation, localization, and interference mitigation algorithms
- Simulate wireless, SATCOM, NTN, WLAN, sensing, and radar systems using standards-based waveforms, channel models and multipath propagation
- Analyze the impact of RF impairments, propagation effects, and multipath environments on system performance
- Validate designs through simulation, hardware prototyping, and over-the-air testing
Using MATLAB and Simulink for Phased Array Systems
Design and Optimize Phased Array Architectures
Evaluate array geometries, element spacing, subarray partitioning, and beam coverage before implementing the hardware. Analyze how array architecture, steering strategies, and element configurations affect gain, spatial resolution, interference suppression, coverage, and localization performance.
Develop Beamforming and Array Signal Processing Algorithms
Create and evaluate conventional, adaptive, and hybrid beamforming algorithms alongside direction-of-arrival estimation and localization techniques. Analyze array signal processing performance for interference suppression, source localization, spatial filtering, and robust operation in complex environments.
