A MLDesigner and SatLab UMTS System Model
Analyze mission, performance and signal processing for fast moving mobiles in terrain
This mission-level analysis assesses the performance of the equalizer circuit of a wireless handset transceiver in a mission-level scenario using MLDesigner™ and SatLab™. The model covers the network, system and functional levels. The wireless system uses both satellites and base stations to ensure high-availability handset communications in rough terrain. SatLab models the moving elements; MLDesigner models the operations.
- The MLDesigner model
- The SatLab GUI
SatLab is connected to MLDesigner (Fig.3). When the simulation starts, a control window opens for dynamic parameter control (Fig.4). SatLab begins calculating the UMTS handset position for MLDesigner (Fig.5)

- Dynamic controls for model
- SatLab Access Window showing position transmission
SatLab begins calculating satellite system positions relative to the UMTS handset.
- SatLab satellite position display
SatLab generates a dynamic 3D terrain map to show the position of the UMTS handset during simulation. (The handset is located in a vehicle moving down a road in rough terrain.) The map also shows the position of the base stations (small blue squares) and the available communications channels to the satellites and the ground stations. The model calculates channel handoffs based on signal availability and quality.

MLDesigner models the handset behavior and its geographic movement. MLDesigner dynamic displays show before and after signal constellation plots showing the effect of the equalizer algorithm in the UMTS handset transceiver (Fig.8) The dynamic display (Fig.9) shows the action of the handset filter taps.
MLDesigner creates summary output graphs when the simulation completes.
