89600 VSA Software for use with Keysight EEsof EDA Simulation 

See Through the Complexity

Bring the industry-leading vector signal analysis software into your simulation environments as the trusted golden receiver with flexible signal visualization and troubleshooting tools. 

Introduction

The 89600 VSA software is a comprehensive set of tools for demodulation and vector signal analysis. These tools enable you to explore virtually every facet of a signal and optimize your most advanced designs. Now you can accelerate development with a consistent set of analysis tools for simulation and test. Keysight EEsof EDA is the leading supplier of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software for communications product designs. SystemVue is an electronic system-level (ESL) design tool for system architects and algorithm developers to innovate the PHY layer design of next-generation communication systems. Advanced Design System (ADS) is EDA software for RF and microwave, Signal Integrity, and Power Integrity applications. Both SystemVue and ADS connect to the 89600 VSA software for analysis of simulated signals.

Key Benefits

• Quickly analyze simulated signals from Keysight SystemVue and ADS using 89600 VSA software as a trusted “golden receiver”

• Produce consistent, comparable analysis results at the simulation, prototype, and design validation stages

• Pinpoint signal problems with powerful troubleshooting tools in multiple traces and analysis that supplement SystemVue and ADS

89600 VSA Core and Elements for Simulation

89600 VSA for Keysight EEsof EDA simulation has a simple product structure with a core environment and three optional elements for different applications. 

W89601BP VSA Base Core Environment Bundle

Using 89600 VSA with Keysight EEsof EDA Simulation

How can we utilize 89600 VSA software with our simulation environments? There are several examples of 89600 VSA links in Keysight EEsof EDA SystemVue and Advanced Design System (ADS) as the starting point. With the real-time streaming interface between SystemVue, ADS and 89600 VSA software, it is simple to bring generated waveforms from simulation into test instruments for analysis. In addition, the source component is also available to import measurement data into the simulation. This enables easy comparison between simulation results and measured results from hardware. This “virtual hardware” or “golden receiver” enables you to uncover system problems before prototype hardware even exists. 

Floating License Server Requirements

The 89601BN floating license requires loading a vendor daemon on a license server. This server can be the same PC running the 89600 VSA software. Full installation instructions and support are provided for compatible server operating systems: Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate (64-bit); Windows Server 2008.
