This section describes the development and extension of a basic power flow program in Matlab. To the extent feasible, complex vector operations are used, even for the calculation of the Jacobian matrix .
MATSNL is a package of MATLAB M-files for computing wireless sensor node
lifetime/power budget and solving optimal node architecture choice problems. It is intended
as an analysis and simulation tool for researchers and educators that are easy to use and
modify. MATSNL is designed to give the rough power/ lifetime predictions based on node
and application specifications while giving useful insight on platform design for the large
node lifetime by providing side-by-side comparison across various platforms.
