Using This Guide
This guide describes how to use the Communications Blockset to simulate communication systems. It contains tutorial information categorized by type of communication process, as well as a reference entry for each block in the blockset.
Expected Background
This guide assumes that you already have background knowledge in the subject of communications. If you do not yet have this background, then you can acquire it using a standard communications text or the books listed in one of this guide's sections whose titles begin with "Selected Bibliography."
If You Are a New User
Start with Getting Started with the Communications Blockset, which describes an example in detail. Then read those parts of Using the Communications Blockset that address the functionality that concerns you. When you find out which blocks you want to use, refer to those parts of Block Reference that describe those blocks.
If You Are an Experienced User
The block reference descriptions in Block Reference are probably the most relevant parts of this guide for you. Each reference description includes a complete explanation of the block's parameters and operation. Many reference descriptions also include examples, a description of the block's algorithm, and references to additional reading material.
