From design to real RF device – connecting EDA simulation and hardware test

This webinar is intended for engineers who design RF components and systems using tools for simulation and hardware test. We will be introducing a new joint solution approach, developed in cooperation with Cadence. The R&S®VSESIM-VSS solution is enhancing the capabilities of the Cadence® Visual System Simulator™ (VSS), widely used to perform EDA simulation.

The new solution streamlines the development process of RF components and systems by allowing real signals to be used in EDA system simulation and hardware tests. Simulation with complex wideband signals according to latest 5G NR or Wi-Fi specifications allows more realistic results than before. Using the same signal creation methods and analysis algorithms as for subsequent hardware tests ensures a direct correlation from early design to implementation verification.

To make this possible, signal generation and analysis tools R&S®WinIQSIM2 and R&S®VSE have been integrated into Cadence’s VSS simulation tool. A demonstration of the upcoming R&S®VSESIM-VSS solution will illustrate how effectively and efficiently the new approach works and how you can benefit from it.
