IT++ 4.2.0

IT++ is a C++ library of mathematical, signal processing and communication routines

IT++ is a C++ library of mathematical, signal processing and communication classes and functions. Its main use is in simulation of communication systems and for performing research in the area of communications. The kernel of the library consists of generic vector and matrix classes, and a set of accompanying routines. Such a kernel makes IT++ similar to MATLAB or GNU Octave.

The IT++ library originates from the former department of Information Theory at the Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. Because the library is coded in C++, the name IT++ seemed like a good idea at the time. While departments come and go, IT++ have developed a life of its' own and is now released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) for you to enjoy.

IT++ is being developed and widely used by researchers who work in the area of communications, both in the industry and at universities. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, IT++ was developed as a part of the European Network of Excellence in Wireless Communications (NEWCOM).
