Description

The Waveform From Wireless Waveform Generator App block is generated using the Wireless Waveform Generator app. You can use the generated block as a wireless waveform source in a Simulink® model.

Note

The actual block name and output waveform depend on the waveform that you configure in the app before generating the block.

For an overview of the waveform types that you can export to Simulink using the LTE Toolbox™ software, see the LTE Waveform Generator app.

To generate a block:

  1. On the app toolstrip, in the Waveform Type section, click the waveform that you want to configure and export to Simulink.

  2. Set the parameters of the selected waveform.

  3. On the app toolstrip, in the Export section, click Export and select Export to Simulink.

The Code tab of the Mask Editor window contains the MATLAB® code that the block executes to output the configured waveform. To access read-only block parameters and waveform configuration parameters, use the UserData common block property, which is a structure with these fields.

  • WaveformConfig — Waveform configuration parameters

  • WaveformLength — Waveform length

  • Fs — Waveform sample rate

For more information on how to use the generated block, see Generate Wireless Waveform in Simulink Using App-Generated Block.

Examples

Generate Wireless Waveform in Simulink Using App-Generated Block

Configure and use the block that is generated using the Export to Simulink capability that is available in the Wireless Waveform Generator app.

Limitations

With the exception of blocks that are generated for 5G NR waveforms, blocks that are generated using random user-defined signal data for the waveform do not support rapid accelerator mode. To enable rapid accelerator mode in these blocks when you set the Bit-source app parameter to User-defined, use pseudo-noise (PN) data as the data source.

Ports

Output

expand all

Time-domain wireless waveform, returned as a complex matrix. The number of matrix columns corresponds to the number of transmit antennas. The waveform type you select in the app determines the output waveform type. To access waveform configuration parameters, use the WaveformConfig structure field of the UserData common block property.

Data Types: double
Complex Number Support: Yes

Parameters

Read-Only Waveform Parameters

The block automatically updates these parameters based on the waveform configuration in the Code tab.

This parameter is read-only.

To access this parameter, use the Fs structure field of the UserData common block property. Units of the Fs structure field are in Hz.

This parameter is read-only.

To access this parameter, use the WaveformLength structure field of the UserData common block property. Units of the WaveformLength structure field are in samples.

Simulation Parameters

These parameters control how the block outputs the waveform during simulation.

This parameter specifies the number of samples to buffer into each output frame.

This parameter specifies the output values after the block has output all available waveform samples.

  • When you select Cyclic Repetition, the block repeats the waveform from the beginning after reaching the last sample in the waveform.

  • When you select Setting To Zero, the block generates zero-valued outputs for the duration of the simulation after generating the last frame of the waveform.
