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.
