# Signal-Lab

A MATLAB app providing interactive visualizations of core wireless networking concepts.

Users require a MATLAB license (free for students/teachers in many schools) to use the application.

*We may decide to package Signal-Lab in the future to allow users without MATLAB to use the app*

### Key Features:

Experiment with many parameters to observe their impact on signal behaviors.

Students/teachers can use this tool to showcase:

- Superpositions of EM Waves in 2D/3D

- EM Waves passing through a Medium

- Voice Signal Analysis (Mic)

- Frequency Modulation, and other wireless communication concepts

### Installation:

This app requires a functioning installation of MATLAB. 

1. **Navigate to a Directory:**

   Open terminal and create/enter your desired directory.

    ```bash

   cd /path/to/ParentDirectory  % Replace with the actual path

   ```

    

2. **Clone the Repository:**

   Use git to clone the Signal-Lab repository from GitHub:

   ```bash

   git clone https://github.com/aleksbrsc/Signal-Lab.git

   ```

### Running the App:

Now you may open the apps through either **terminal** or **MATLAB**.

1. **Open through Terminal:**

   Once cloned, navigate to the Signal-Lab directory:

   ```bash

   cd Signal-Lab

   ```

   Then `ls` to find a list of apps, and `open` one of them:

   ```bash

   open main.mlapp  % Replace with a specific app if you want

   ```

   If that fails, either have MATLAB running first, or:

2. **Open through MATLAB:** 

   1. Launch MATLAB and open the directory

   2. Double-click main.mlapp file to open the main menu app

   3. Click the play button to run it

### Additional Notes:

Now you should see the Signal-Lab app interface within your MATLAB environment. Feel free to interact with the sliders and controls to explore different wireless networking concepts visually.

If you're having issues running the app:

* Ensure that any additional MATLAB files required by the app (functions, data files, etc.) are located within the same directory or a subdirectory within the Signal-Lab folder structure.

* If you encounter any errors while running the app, double-check the installation steps and verify that all necessary files are present and accessible.
