Streamlining Design and Verification with RF System Explorer (RFSE) in ADS: 5G NTN Transmitter
Application Notes
With the rapid advancements in 5G and 6G technologies, engineers face the challenge of integrating system-level design and circuit-level verification. This challenge arises because these tasks are often performed by different members of the design team—system architects focus on overall system performance and specifications, while circuit designers concentrate on detailed component behavior and implementation. The differing priorities, tools, and workflows between these roles can create silos, leading to misalignment, inefficiencies, and longer design cycles. Addressing these challenges requires solutions that bridge the gap between system-level and circuit-level workflows, ensuring seamless collaboration across the design team.
Keysight’s RF System Explorer (RFSE) in Advanced Design System (ADS) bridges this gap, offering streamlined workflows and high-fidelity simulations tailored to emerging challenges like Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). This application note demonstrates how RFSE benefits engineers allowing them to conduct feasibility studies efficiently, highlighting its application through an NTN use case.
