TDMA Simulation with Three Signal Paths

Resource Overview

Simulink-based TDMA simulation implementing three signal channels with time division multiplexing protocol analysis

Detailed Documentation

In this project, we conducted a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) simulation using three signal paths. TDMA is a communication protocol that enables multiple users to communicate on the same frequency channel by allocating distinct time slots for transmission. The simulation was implemented using Simulink, a MATLAB extension that provides a graphical environment for modeling, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems. During the simulation process, we evaluated system feasibility by configuring time slot allocation parameters and observing signal interactions through scope blocks and spectrum analyzers. The implementation involved creating frame structures with synchronized time slots, employing buffer blocks for signal storage, and using switches controlled by timing signals to manage channel access. Our results demonstrate that this TDMA implementation approach is viable for multi-user communication systems, successfully preventing collisions and data corruption through proper time slot management and synchronization mechanisms.
