WLAN Toolbox
WLAN Toolbox offers functions for designing, simulating, analyzing, and testing wireless LAN systems, supporting IEEE® 802.11™ standards. It includes waveforms, channel modeling, MIMO operations, and customizable test benches. The toolbox allows waveform generation, signal measurements, and end-to-end link simulations. You can connect models to radio devices for over-the-air testing and verify designs using RF instruments or hardware support packages.
Waveform Generation
Generate standards-compliant Wi-Fi waveforms and add RF impairments using the Wireless Waveform Generator app. Visualize and export waveforms with constellation diagrams, spectrum analyzers, OFDM grids, and time scope plots.
Link-Level Simulation
Simulate end-to-end WLAN links with transmitter, channel, and receiver models. Perform link-level simulations for IEEE 802.11 standards and analyze performance using metrics like PER, bit error rate, and throughput.
Test and Measurement
Model and test RF transceivers under noise and interference. Perform transmitter measurements such as modulation accuracy, spectral emission mask, and flatness. Test receivers with minimum input sensitivity compliance metrics.
Signal Recovery
Detect and decode WLAN packets, handling frame synchronization, frequency offset correction, channel estimation, and error phase tracking. Demodulate and decode signaling, data fields, and 802.11 OFDM non-HT beacon packets.
AI, Positioning, and Sensing
Apply AI to localize and detect features over Wi-Fi networks using channel state information. Use a CNN for wireless sensing and train a deep neural network for precise positioning via fingerprinting.
802.11be
Generate 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) waveforms, build link-level simulations with TGax channel models, and decode received packets. Model multi-user links and measure PER, EVM, and spectral characteristics.
System-Level Simulation
Model Wi-Fi networks with multiple devices and simulate the physical, MAC, and application layers. Investigate WLAN and Bluetooth coexistence and simulate 802.11ax™ OFDMA networks. Accelerate simulations using physical layer abstraction.
Radio Connectivity
Connect your transmitter and receiver models to radio devices for over-the-air transmission and reception. Use MATLAB to acquire and analyze signals received through RF instruments or software-defined radio (SDR) hardware. Implement WLAN time and frequency synchronization models for accurate communication.
