Release 4 Blockset
The UTRA FDD system is one of the most intricate and complicated mobile communications specifications ever defined. Therefore, having the necessary tools to understand and test implementations of the system is more important than ever. One important component of this tool kit is the UTRA FDD Blockset from MAC Ltd
Based on the Release 4 3GPP specifications, the 3GPP UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset enables an engineer to rapidly assemble transmitter channel models and therefore concentrate on the development of proprietary receivers, and in doing so provides a quick and easy way of becoming familiar with the specifications.
The benefits of the UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset
- The UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset provides an invaluable educational tool to aid in familiarisation with the UTRA FDD specifications.
- It provides a fast way of building transmitter models for all UTRA FDD channels for both downlink and uplink.
- The Simulink blocks in the UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset have been verified, so they can provide a reliable reference against which proprietary transmitter and receiver designs can be tested.
- The UTRA FDD blocks can be used with blocks from other Simulink libraries, such as the DSP and Communications blocksets, so that more complex, proprietary models can be realised.
UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset
The UTRA FDD Release 4 Blockset provides basic Simulink blocks and composite channel models for all uplink and downlink channels described in the 3GPP UTRA FDD Release 4 specification. These include the downlink channels DPDCH/DPCCH, P-CCPCH, S-CCPCH, P-CPICH, S-CPICH, SCH, PDSCH, AICH, AP-AICH, CD/CA-ICH, PICH and CSICH. Uplink channel support consists of the PRACH, PCPCH, DPDCH and the DPCCH. All of these channels are based on the 10 ms/15 timeslot channels described in the Release 99 and Release 4 specifications.

What is included?
- Each library is designed using a hierarchical approach - blocks in a sub-library are created using blocks from a lower-level sub-library.
- HTML on-line documentation - every block within a library has its own help page associated with it.
- Each library has a set of demonstration models.
