Line-up tool for PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) circuit designers enabling seamless collaboration between circuit and system designers.

Highlights

The W4542E PathWave RF System Explorer in ADS includes:

  • Spectrasys features available in ADS:
    • Interactive budget plots
    • Spur identification and root cause analysis: spectrum with individual contributors
    • Cascaded measurement tables
  • Shareable RF architectures between circuit level in ADS and system level in SystemVue
  • Simulation using ADS extracted models in conjunction with Spectrasys RF models in RFSE

RF System Explorer (RFSE) is a powerful tool within the PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) environment, catering to RF circuit designers. It streamlines tasks related to system budgeting and spectrum analysis while offering a unique feature – the ability to generate an Extracted Behavioral Model (EBM) of the ADS circuit design. This EBM serves as a valuable substitute for the circuit design itself in system-level analysis. RFSE operates seamlessly within the ADS environment, ensuring a unified workspace for all related files.

For the system level designer in PathWave System Design, RFSE effortlessly generates the EBM model, enabling system designers to access circuit design models at any stage of circuit development. This transparency eliminates the need for system designers to delve into circuit intricacies and lets them concentrate solely on system level aspects.

RFSE creation of EBM models makes sharing architectures a hassle-free experience for both circuit and system designers.
