System-level design support for phased array subsystems, enabling beamforming techniques to be applied to 5G, Radar, and Satellite systems
Solution Brochure
Introduction
The W1720 Phased Array Beamforming Kit provides system architects in 5G, Radar/EW, and Satellite communications with the essential tools to evaluate phased array and beamforming subsystems, including RF, Digital, and Hybrid beamforming architectures. It allows system designers to consider RF nonlinear and noise effects, Gain/Phase quantization, and Monte Carlo variations effects on total beam quality, sidelobe levels, and effective radiated power. It also supports dynamic system-level scenarios with algorithms for adaptive beamforming.
Because SystemVue includes MATLAB Script and supports baseband algorithm modeling in multiple languages, such as C++, SystemC, and VHDL/Verilog, SystemVue is an ideal platform to cross-validate phased array design information from RF, Baseband, and test & measurement teams. The W1720 beamforming kit is also compatible with SystemVue’s many reference libraries for 4G/5G, Radar, satellite, and other modulation formats.
Who should use the W1720 Phased Array Beamforming Kit?
In typical R&D organizations, many engineering disciplines are required in phased array subsystem design. The SystemVue Phased Array Beamforming Kit allows RF and baseband teams to use a model-based engineering approach across disciplines. This enables them to perform early R&D validation of phased array system architectures, components and beamforming algorithms, and then continue into hardware test.
– System architects can integrate design information from multiple diverse teams, along with test waveforms, to produce winning architectures and proposals
SystemVue also provides a variety of links to RF design tools such as Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS), providing both flexibility and consistency across a full R&D workflow.
Key applications
What’s Included in the W1720?
The W1720 adds onto any SystemVue environment. It enables users to work with phased arrays as either individual signals, or as a single “beam”. The W1720 includes
Configuration
The W1720 Phased Array Beamforming Kit can be added to any SystemVue Environment. It does not require the W1719 RF System Design Kit, but the W1719 is highly recommended for analysis of RF array architectures. Without the W1719, the W1720 still provides system-level dataflow simulations and beam measurements.
If you are working in Radar or 5G applications, it is recommended that you purchase the full W1905 or W1906 libraries (respectively), not the W1720 by itself.
The W1720 is already included in these bundles and libraries:
The W1467 SystemVue Array Architect is a convenient bundle that adds the W1720 Phased Array Beamforming Kit to the popular W1464 SystemVue RF System Architect bundle, to take full advantage of the W1720. This bundle is recommended for system architects working in satellite and New Space communications systems. Existing SystemVue users may wish to upgrade to this bundle.
The W1467 includes:
Additional Keysight software applications (such as I/O libraries, Command Expert, and the 89600 VSA software) are often used to connect SystemVue to families of Keysight test equipment. These families include baseband AWGs, digitizers, RF sources, RF analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
