SystemVue Bundles
Model Number1 Bundle Name Description
W1461BP SystemVue Comms Architect Dramatically cuts design time and verification effort for System Architects, Algorithm Developers, and Hardware Designers who create or implement communications systems at the physical layer (PHY).
W1462BP SystemVue FPGA Architect Adds fixed-point hardware-true simulation models and a VHDL/Verilog hardware implementation path to the SystemVue environment. Rapid-prototyping and verification of hardware effects at the system level help architects get working PHY's on the air faster than ever before.
W1464BP SystemVue RF Architect Adds a spectral domain RF block simulator and a frequency planning tool to account for RF/Analog effects that other simulators ignore. Design and troubleshoot RF-True systems with confidence in minutes, not days.
W1465BP SystemVue System Architect Powerful multi-domain toolset that unites both signal processing and RF hardware into a single creative ESL workflow. Superior ease of use, partitioning, and verification allow challenging, high-performance communications PHYs to go from concept to working hardware in record time, with greater performance and confidence.
W1467BP SystemVue Array Architect Adds a phased array / beamforming personality on top of the W1464, allowing system architects in 5G, Radar, and Satellite communications to incorporate Analog/RF, Digital, and Hybrid Beamforming performance into their overall system designs.
W1468BP SystemVue Spectrasys Bundle6 Adds Spectrasys to the SystemVue environment.
W1484BP SystemVue RF Impairment Module Includes SystemVue engine with dataflow and RF_Link. Does not include SpectraSys or SystemVue GUI.
