Simulation software enables 5G design, verification process

KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES SystemVue 2017 electronic system level (ESL) software provides phased-array antenna and other 5G functionality. The simulation platform for 5G design and verification enables users to combine existing baseband, RF and channel models for evaluation of the entire system. Product allows designers to accurately design phased-array antennas for 5G mobile networks. Product can account for RF effects like S-parameters of off-the-shelf phase shifters and attenuators, and X- or Sys-parameters of nonlinear amplifiers and mixers. This allows users to characterize radiation of spurious intermodulation signals from the array in terms of direction and power.
