NATICK, MA -- The MathWorks, Inc., a leading supplier of technical computing software for engineers and scientists, announced today that RadioScape(R) Ltd. has developed RadioLab 3G 2.0, which is built on The MathWorks MATLAB(TM) and Simulink(TM) software, to provide developers involved in the design, development and conformance testing of 3G UMTS products comprehensive, system-level 3G simulation. RadioScape, a software developer for the wireless and digital communications markets, developed RadioLab 3G 2.0 to significantly enhance the capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink, providing accurate simulations fully compliant with 3GPP FDD specifications. RadioScape's software enables developers to validate their ideas and designs before committing them to silicon and software, achieving faster development times with fewer errors. RadioLab 3G 2.0 consists of functional blocks that can be linked together to simulate complex models of real-world 3G communications systems in four easy steps: build, develop, validate and migrate. "By leveraging the power of MATLAB and Simulink, RadioLab provides advanced UMTS simulation to a wide range of engineers," said Stuart McGarrity, communications products marketing manager at The MathWorks. "RadioLab 3G also adds to Simulink a fixed point, true bit simulation, which enables engineers to model 3G systems within performance parameters, ensuring the design works within its selected environment." The RadioLab software models the key functions of a UMTS basestation providing unmatched flexibility for both UTRAN and UE designs. With more reference systems than any other product, the RadioLab 3G 2.0 UMTS modeling toolset includes a comprehensive library of models and simulations including: -- Turbo and Viterbi coding; -- Transport and physical channels; and -- Multi-path radio channel simulation, all in easy-to-use forms. "RadioScape aims to partner with best-of-breed companies, so The MathWorks was the most logical platform on which to develop RadioLab because it supports the sophisticated requirements for modeling 3G communications. Simulink is also one of the top testing environments for developers," said John Collins, director of strategic marketing for RadioScape. "Together, RadioScape and The MathWorks are enabling the deployment of 3G systems and user equipment worldwide." MATLAB and Simulink are design tools that are commonly used by engineers across various industries. MATLAB integrates mathematical computing, visualization, and a powerful language to provide a flexible environment for technical computing. The open architecture makes it easy to use and its companion products explore data, develop algorithms and build custom tools that provide early insights and competitive advantages. Simulink is an interactive tool for modeling, simulating and analyzing dynamic systems. It enables users to build graphical block diagrams, evaluate system performance and refine designs. Simulink integrates seamlessly with MATLAB and is tightly integrated with Stateflow(TM) for modeling event-driven behavior. Simulink is the tool of choice for control system design, DSP design, communications system design and other simulation applications. For more information visit www.mathworks.com
