Abstract :
Two examples are provided of the use of microcomputer simulation for computer-aided design and analysis of communication systems: a fixed topology simulation program for digital data links written in Pascal; and a simulation of an analog link using Fortran. Such applications are reported to require a minimum of investment. The new 32-bit single-board computers and their potential impact on microcomputer simulation are discussed
