ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator

Generate CCSDS TM waveform

Since R2021a

Description

The ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator System object™ generates a Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Telemetry (TM) time-domain waveform. The object implements the waveform generation aspects of CCSDS standard blue books:

• CCSDS 131.0-B-3 — TM synchronization and channel coding [1]

• CCSDS 401.0-B-30 — Radio frequency and modulation systems [2]

• CCSDS 131.2-B-1 — Flexible advanced coding and modulation scheme for high rate TM applications [3]

Note

The object supports waveform generation specified by the CCSDS TM synchronization and channel coding standard [1] and CCSDS flexible advanced coding and modulation scheme for high rate TM standard [3]. To obtain the waveform for either of the desired standard, set the WaveformSource property.

To generate a CCSDS TM waveform:

1. Create the ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator object and set its properties.

2. Call the object with arguments, as if it were a function.

To learn more about how System objects work, see What Are System Objects?

Creation

Syntax

tmWaveGen = ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator

tmWaveGen = ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator(Name,Value)

Description

tmWaveGen = ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator creates a default CCSDS TM waveform generator System object.

tmWaveGen = ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator(Name,Value) sets Properties using one or more name-value pairs. For example, ccsdsTMWaveformGenerator("WaveformSource","flexible advanced coding and modulation","ACMFormat",20) specifies the CSSDS TM waveform source as flexible advanced coding and modulation standard with ACM format as 20 for the generated waveform.

Properties

Unless otherwise indicated, properties are nontunable, which means you cannot change their values after calling the object. Objects lock when you call them, and the release function unlocks them.

If a property is tunable, you can change its value at any time.

For more information on changing property values, see System Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.
