Additional Description

Abstract

Realistic simulation is an essential step in the development and testing of communications systems. Toward that end, it is essential to create an accurate model of the operating environment as well as the system components. This report details the derivation and creation of three such models developed for use with Simulink, the graphical user interface for Matlab (The Math Works, Inc.).

The models simulated are (1) an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable Communications Channel, (2) a Coaxial Cable Communications Channel, and (3) an Optical Fiber Communications Channel. Simulation parameters are based on commercially available products and the models have been developed for use in simulations of complete communications systems.

The simulation files have not been provided but may be obtained by contacting Richard Mayo through the Monmouth University Electronic Engineering Department or via e-mail at gapdragon@aol.com. The top levels of the three models are displayed in Appendices H, I, & J. User instructions for the three simulation files are provided in Appendix K.
