Matlab Phased Array Toolbox and Radar Examples

-


Matlab is one of the best software that can be for scientific and engineering research and computation, in addition to Python. Phased Array Toolbox of the Matlab provides a solid solution for antenna array analysis and radar research. Furthermore, Mathworks, owner company of Matlab, presents an extensive documentation of this toolbox. Here, I would like to present useful examples and documentation of Matlab radar studies, mainly from Mathworks website.

Electromagnetic Modelling and Antenna Simulation via Opensource Software

-
Image
Commercial electromagnetic simulation (EM) software packages such as CST Microwave Studio and  ANSYS HFSS are widely used in commercial applications and educational purposes. Based on my experience, they provide very accurate results which match measurements in most antenna works. On the other hand, there are also very solid opensource software and applications which may also provide similar results in some applications. Antennas are also used in radio telescopes While commercial EM software suits usually have very good documentations, easy-to-use interference, and result visualisation and navigation tools, opensource EM software suits might consist of only the solver and documentation which explains how it should be used and implemented for design and simulation via an interference and a programming language such as Python, MATLAB, C++ . As they are opensource, it is also possible to edit their codes and advance their functions and performance. Thus, these features makes opensource

Machine Learning Methods: Supervised Learning

-
In this article, we are going to review the most common and valuable machine learning algorithms which are frequently applied in the industry, academy and research. Note that some algorithms may have many subcategories or derivations since machine learning and artificial intelligence have been actively and extensively studied and utilised nowadays. This article will present a categorical overview of these fundamental algorithms and briefly explain each of them. In the succeeding articles, each algorithm will be deeply explained and their implementations will be exhibited.  Machine learning (ML) algorithms are generally considered in two main categories as follows; Supervised Learning Methods Unsupervised  Learning Methods Supervised Learning Methods  Supervised learning techniques create logical connections or maps between input and output data. Therefore, these types of methods usually require a significant amount of labelled data for training. After that, these logical co

On the performance of Matlab and Parallel Computing

-
MATLAB is one of the most powerful scientific computing tools along with Python. Although Python is my favorite scientific programming language since it is opensource, well-documented and has plenty of libraries, I sometimes use MATLAB especially while dealing with very large matrices as MATLAB is highly optimized for large-scale matrix operations, consequently, it performs better at processing very large matrices. From a parallel computing perspective, MATLAB actually strives to utilize all available CPU cores in a parallel way to maximize its performance and reduce the computation time when it is possible. Therefore, it does a kind of parallel computing when it is possible such as in matrix operations as these operations are very suitable to be run parallelly.  However, the parallel operation of the MATLAB might be restricted by bad coding practice of the users especially using for or while loops, because those loops are generally performed in a serial manner with an increasi
