Software Defined Radio (SDR)

Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures are quickly finding their way into deployed military communications systems. SDR specs now require broadband wireless networking and 4G mobility standard support. Agilent has solutions that can help you develop and analyze the waveforms that result from these commercial wireless standards.

SystemVue software is a focused EDA environment for electronic system-level (ESL) design that enables system architects and algorithm developers working on SDRs to innovate the physical layer (PHY) of their systems and verify waveform compliance against LTE and WiMAX^TM specifications.

SystemVue also provides unique value to RF, DSP, and FPGA/ASIC implementers who rely on signal processing to deliver the full value of their hardware platforms.

SystemVue replaces general-purpose digital, analog, and math environments by offering a dedicated platform for ESL design and signal processing realization. SystemVue ‘speaks RF,’ cuts waveform development & verification time, and connects to your existing waveform development flow.

Advanced Design System (ADS) EDA software and Connected Solutions provide a unique framework to glue your SDR architecture IP (circuits, behavioral models, HDL, MATLAB®, SystemC) together. The real power of this solution enables you to:

• Access a complete array of commercial off-the-shelf waveform libraries for all commercial wireless systems, including broadband wireless access standards such as Mobile WiMAX.
• Architect and evaluate your SDR's RF front-end performance, including reference rejection.
• Verify your SDR architecture performance using supplied commercial waveforms and validate against published standards.
• Port waveforms to measurement instruments to extend the validation capability to actual hardware.
