| Communications Toolbox | ![]() |
Every communication system has one or more signal sources. This chapter describes how to use the Communications Toolbox to generate random signals, which are useful for simulating noise, errors, or signal sources. The sections are as follows.
| White Gaussian Noise | Using wgn to generate white Gaussian noise |
| Random Symbols | Using randsrc to generate random symbols |
| Random Integers | Using randint to generate uniformly distributed random integers |
| Random Bit Error Patterns | Using randerr to generate random bit error patterns, as in a model of channel errors |
For more general random number generators, see the online reference pages for the built-in MATLAB functions rand and randn.
