The Advanced Design System (ADS) RF System Simulator provides the ability to model a complete RF system with accurate block level models that can later be replaced with device level models for further, more detailed verification.

The RF System Simulator consists of:

  • Linear and nonlinear system simulators
  • RF Budget Analysis

Product Highlights:

  • Linear and nonlinear simulations of complete RF systems
  • Built in measurements for forward and reverse power gain, intercept point, noise, dynamic range, etc. accommodate a wide range of design requirements
  • Extensive model set of amplifiers, mixers, modulators, demodulators, phase lock loop components, switches, and new Automated RF Behavioral Model Generation technology provide design flexibility while increasing simulation speed and capacity
  • Contains a unique RF system budget analysis feature that enables designers to examine more than forty system measurements (TOI, 1dBc, power, gain, noise figure, etc.), at the system or device level, for each component in the system
  • Computes complete spectra including harmonics, and inter-modulation and mixer spurious noise producing highly accurate results
  • Advanced statistical design capability aids in optimizing performance and production yield
    • Automatic normalization of sensitivity analysis output
    • Optional run of final analysis after optimization run completion
    • More information on the Statistical Design Package
