MATLAB a high-level language for technical computing, interactive environment for algorithm development, and modern tools of data analysis. MATLAB compared to traditional programming languages ??(C / C + +, Java, Pascal, FORTRAN) allows an order to reduce the time solution of typical problems and simplifies the development of new algorithms. MATLAB is the foundation of the entire family of products and MathWorks is the main tool for solving a wide range of scientific and applied problems in areas such as: modeling facilities and development of management systems, design of communication systems, signal and image processing, measurement signals and testing, financial modeling, computational biology, etc. 
MATLAB allows the kernel as easy to work with real matrices, complex and analysis of data types. Contains a built-in linear algebra (LAPACK, BLAS), fast Fourier transform (FFTW), functions for working with polynomials, functions, basic statistics and numerical solution of differential equations. All built-in core MATLAB developed and optimized by experts and work faster or the same as their equivalent in C / C + +

Hovye possibility of developing a communication system in MATLAB 

Auto-tuning PID-controller. 
Hardware support for standard GigE Vision. 
Improved support for Simulink and Stateflow to create models of multiple use. 
In the release, 2010b added a new tool SimRF, allowing to simulate high-frequency processes at the system level. Also release introduces Update in 84 product MathWorks, including a family of products for verification of the code Polyspace. 

Pack of progressive programming MATLAB include their own types of enumeration data, the 64-bit integer arithmetic and a set of enhancements for design environments. 

Other distinctive features of Release MATLAB 2010b:
