AWR Releases Visual System Simulator 2010
AWR Corporation, the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA, today announced the commercial release of its 2010 Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) software. The release offers new capabilities that increase productivity for RF system designers; including time delay neural network (TDNN™) advanced amplifier behavioral models for capturing memory effects and measurement data interchange format (MDIF) model support, as well as a new phased array element for radar design engineers.
Additionally, enhancements have been made to the VSS RFA™ architect tool plus new communication models and signal processing blocks have been added.
Key Features in VSS 2010:
· TDNN* ( time delay neural network) based models:
· New circuit-based nonlinear behavioral model for VSS that can capture memory effects in power amplifiers
· Turbo decoders:
· Support for turbo codes used in 3G/4G standards
· cdma2000, IS856, WiMAX, and LTE
· Library/components that can be used for decoding of custom turbo codes
· Third party integrations:
· R&S WinIQSIM2 waveform generation software integration
· Support for all standards and variants within VSS, including export to R&S K96 for OFDM standards analysis
· MATLAB® co-simulation
