This paper describes a SIMULINK block set for the behavioral simulation of RF receivers. Building blocks are modeled including their main circuit-level non idealities. These models are incorporated into the SIMULINK environment making an extensive use of C-coded S-functions and reducing the number of library block elements. This approach reduces the simulation time while keeping high accuracy, what makes the proposed toolbox very appropriate to be combined with an optimizer for the automated high-level synthesis of radio receivers. As a case study, a direct-conversion receiver intended for 4G telecom systems is modeled and simulated using the proposed toolbox.This work has been supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education (with support from the European Regional Development Fund) under contract TEC2004-01752/MIC.Peer reviewed
