Product InformationProduct Highlights
Product DescriptionE8850/51/52 Communications Systems Designer suites provide an integrated environment for engineers to architect, design, and validate RF/analog/DSP system designs to the implementation level. The systems designer can architect a communications system using behavioral models to validate a concept for proposal or development work. As the product development proceeds, the designer can design and substitute lower levels of abstraction to verify the RF/mixed signal design down to the circuit level, and export the design to a variety of manufacturing tools. Available statistical design capability allow the user to make difficult tradeoffs during the design process in order to optimize performance or manufacturing yield. A large array of behavioral RF/analog/DSP models work with the Ptolemy Simulator to provide leading-edge simulation accuracy during the design process. The inclusion of propagation and matrix models, facilitate modeling of the complete wireless system. The latest ADS communications library modules can provide additional support for designers trying to verify their designs that utilize the latest popular communications standards such as 3GPP, and Edge. These libraries can be used at the front end of the design process when the system architecture is conceptualized, during the design and implementation process, or at the back end of the design process when final verification is made. Instrument links to Agilent Technologies test and measurement instrumentation products can provide virtual prototyping verification for designs prior to final implementation or tape out. For example, a new RF/analog/DSP transmitter design modeled in the Communications Systems Designer can be verified by linking the output of the simulation with one of the Agilent ESG signal generator products. The resulting real world signal produced in a virtual environment will include all of the signal distortions, noise, and propagation effects modeled into the design. This signal can then be fed into an Agilent signal analysis component or real-world receiver circuit to provide virtual prototyping capability, and the ability to "tune" the design using real-world hardware and analysis.

User SupportUsing ADS Communication Systems DesignerThis is a medium-paced three-day review of communications system design techniques, for systems that consist of digital/DSP and RF/Analog sub-blocks. The path from requirements to system design specifications is shown, followed by individual sub-system design specifications. Different simulation techniques are used to aid in the design decisions, including optimization, budget analysis for transmitters and receivers, statistical design and yield analysis, digital filter synthesis, BER measurement. The class is hands-on oriented. Each student builds his own project, effectively using all the necessary features of ADS. The project developed during the training course is built from the ground up into a complete PI4DQPSK communications system: data source, modulator, transmitter, RF propagation channel model, receiver, demodulator. Simulations are performed on various sub-systems, to validate their performance prior to integration into the top-level system design.
