The Channel Identification Machines (CIMs) Toolbox provides a set of algorithms for the functional identification of a channel in a system consisting of a communication channel in cascade with an asynchronous sampler, as well as step-by-step demonstrations of the accompanying source code. The channel considered here is modeled as a multidimensional filter, while models of asynchronous sampler are taken from neuroscience and communications and includes integrate-and-fire (IAF) neurons, asynchronous delta-sigma modulators (ASDM), and general oscillators in cascade with zero-crossing detectors.
