Module 4<Topic 1>< Matlab Simulation on Filters

Course Learning Outcomes:
C7. Use communication toolbox and programming with wireless communication and computation
platforms to evaluate the appropriateness of scripting and simulations
C8. With less supervision, collaborate work with a group to develop and communicate reasonable
recommendations for the script debugging.

Activity 1 : Matlab Simulation on Filters

In this experiment, you will learn how to represent, manipulate, and analyze a filtering process using
simulink

1. to study how to construct a simulink model in matlab

2. to study the MATLAB Blocks required to create the model for filters
Low Pass Filter
3. to use plot to plot the filtered output of wireless signals
