Baseband Verification Library

Simulation Reference Library for Next-Generation Communication Architects, Standard Developers, Baseband Developers, and Component Verifiers in Research and Development

Introduction

The Keysight EEsof EDA 5G Baseband Verification Library provides trusted reference algorithmic modeling IP and a new, innovative simulation methodology that can be added to the SystemVue software platform. Today, reference models support the latest 3GPP standards. Consisting of signal processing building blocks, subsystems, reference multi-antenna system modeling examples, and infrastructure components, the library allows system architects to execute realistic technical research and easily evaluate your 5G communication system design.

The library is essential to enabling an integrated, cross-domain, model-based approach to simulation. 3GPP TR38.901 3D channel model supporting 0.5 GHz to 100 GHz channel characteristics, for example, help designers evaluate system performance in realistic channel environments and make realistic proposals for the new 5G standards.

Who should use the 5G library?

Next-generation communication system architects, standard developers, baseband developers and component verifiers in research and development can use the 5G library to develop new algorithms and perform early system validation, with or without working baseband or RF hardware.

The 5G library is intended for use in research and development, and in academic research systems to enable the design of algorithm and system robustness in multi-channel propagation and interference situations.

An Integrated, Model-Based Approach to Simulation

The 5G Baseband Verification Library is used with the Keysight EDA SystemVue electronic system level simulation platform for 5G PHY standard development. SystemVue’s integrated simulation environment, the W1465 SystemVue System Architect, is used to develop innovative designs for research and development. The integrated simulation environment allows users to investigate, implement and verify their communications PHY signal processing designs with dynamic link-level scenarios. Adding the 5G Baseband Verification Library to the mix provides:

  • Supporting 5G NR physical layer channels and signals reference DSP models for
  • 3GPP TS 38.211 Physical Channels and Modulation
  • 3GPP TS 38.212 Multiplexing and Channel Coding
  • 3D MIMO channel based on 3GPP TR 38.901 V14.0.0 (2017-03), Release 14
  • First Over-the-Air (OTA) simulation for 5G NR mmWave
  • Multi-antenna system architectures, including baseband, RF and hybrid beamforming structures.
  • 3GPP TR38.901 3D channel model, supporting 0.5 GHz - 100 GHz channel characteristics
  • Link level performance evaluation by incorporating user antenna element pattern as well as beam pattern files from EMPro/HFSS/CST into simulation
  • 3D visualization to identify and address problem areas that improve system performance at an early stage of design

What can you do with the SystemVue 5G library?

With the SystemVue 5G library, users can validate their design, and perform an integrated, cross-domain, model-based simulation of existing and new air interface technologies.

Bridging 4G and 5G technologies:

By using the W1907BP 5G Forward Baseband Verification bundle product, new 5G technology enabling systems can be modeled and evaluated on an existing 4G physical layer frame structure. LTE-like PHY designs with the extension of bandwidth, number of antennas, changing to a different waveform technology, and many other “what-if” types of simulation are also possible.

Baseband modeling:

Validate your own algorithms in C++, MATLAB, or other graphically-defined schematics and put them in our 5G reference design. SystemVue also conveniently integrates with MATLAB for IP compatibility and portability.

Multi-antenna system modeling:

Evaluate various multi-antenna system architectures including millimeter-wave beamforming technologies. Multi-channel RF chains and antenna impairments can also be included.

Wireless channel:

Investigate high frequency wireless channel characteristics by utilizing 3GPP TR 38.901 channel model to represent hostile millimeter-wave channel characteristics in end-to-end communication links.

RF component evaluation:

Fill gaps for RFIC/RF module designers who want to assess system-level performance based on simulated or tested analog designs.

Configuration

The 5G library can be added as an option to any W146x Series SystemVue environment or bundle, such as the W1461BP SystemVue Comms Architect.

The SystemVue W1902 Digital Modem Library complements the 5G library by generating additional wideband waveforms, such as single-carrier QAM channels.

The SystemVue 5G library also works with Keysight hardware, such as the M8190A/95A AWG, M9703A/B digitizer, M9383A PXIe signal generator (1 MHz to 44 GHz), and N9040A/B (UXA) to measure MER and BER.

Complementary Keysight software (such as Keysight I/O libraries, Command Expert, and the 89600 VSA) is often used to connect SystemVue to families of Keysight test equipment, including AWGs, digitizers, RF sources, RF analyzers, and others. SystemVue offers a convenient modeling and verification platform that can be used in the R&D environment, test lab, or shared over a network.
