Teaching Signal Processing and
Communications with MATLAB and Simulink

Educators use MATLAB and Simulink in many signal processing and communication courses.

With domain-specific toolboxes and apps, MATLAB makes it easy for students to learn and perform domain-specific tasks involving signal processing, image processing, and communications. Educators can use MATLAB live scripts to create lectures that combine explanatory text, mathematical equations, code, and results.

Below is a sampling of course curricula, textbooks, educational videos, online labs, and additional tools for teaching signal and system courses with MATLAB and Simulink.
