Undefined variable "comm" or class "comm.Rais​edCosineTr​ansmitFilt​er".

Hi, I am just trying the codes to design a raised cosine filter. There are already codes found in the web http://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/examples/raised-cosine-filtering.html. And what I did what just copy and paste the codes there onto my command window to try out. Below are the codes:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Nsym = 6;           % Filter span in symbol durations
beta = 0.5;         % Roll-off factor
sampsPerSym = 8;    % Upsampling factor
rcosFlt = comm.RaisedCosineTransmitFilter(...
  'Shape',                  'Normal', ...
  'RolloffFactor',          beta, ...
  'FilterSpanInSymbols',    Nsym, ...
  'OutputSamplesPerSymbol', sampsPerSym)

% Visualize the impulse response
fvtool(rcosFlt, 'Analysis', 'impulse')
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I expect it to work, however I am given an error "Undefined variable "comm" or class "comm.RaisedCosineTransmitFilter"."

I have the Signal Processing Toolbox, and even when I tried the above codes in my school computer it also throws out the same error.

As such, I tried to design the raised cosine filter using the function rcosdesign(), again I copied the codes from the example and simply paste it in the command window. Again it throws out the error undefined function 'rcosdesign' for input arguments type double. =(

Can someone help me please.

Thanks.

Which MATLAB version are you using?

Hi Yingyu,

Kindly let us know what you did to fix the error "Undefined variable "comm" or class "comm.RaisedCosineTransmitFilter""

I am also facing a similar issue with the "comm.AGC" command. I use Matlab R2012b

You need Communications System Toolbox license to use comm.RaisedCosineTransmitFilter. You can use

>> ver

to see if you have that toolbox installed.

If you look at the bottom of the reference page

https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/comm.raisedcosinetransmitfilter-class.html

It says the feature is introduced in R2013b

i m having 2010, i checked >>ver it shows communication toolbox. but still i get :: Undefined variable "comm" or class "comm.TurboEncoder"

Kindly give solution

[Honglei Chen]

comm.TurboEncoder is introduced in R2012a, according to the reference page

https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/comm.turboencoder-class.html
