Matlab Toolbox for RF Receiver Modeling

Abstract:

In this paper a novel RF receiver modeling approach is presented. The novelty consists in the usage of the object oriented programming instead of the usual imperative programming. Classes were defined for entities as signal, non-ideality and RF/analog block, in order to achieve a basic RF receiver model. The main circuit non-idealities were identified, non-ideality parameters and their analytical models were encapsulated into classes. The effectiveness of the proposed modeling approach was demonstrated by developing in MATLAB a fairly complete model of a direct conversion receiver.
