W2361EP Datasheet, PDF (2/2 Pages) Keysight Technologies – Ptolemy and VTB Engine

02 | Keysight | W2361EP/ET Ptolemy and VTB Engine - Brochure
Keysight Ptolemy provides the system simulation foundation for
wireless standards verification with the latest Keysight wireless
libraries such as LTE, WiMAX, and VWAN. In addition, it also
enables connected solutions with the full range of Keysight signal
sources and analyzers to generate real signals or use measured
signals in simulations to perform progressive system integration
with real hardware as it becomes available. This avoids the
delays and costly surprises that can come from traditional
system integration, where all hardware must be completed
before it can be verified together.
The Keysight Ptolemy and VTB Engine capabilities include:
–– Dataflow and time-domain simulation of mixed-signal DSP,
RF, and analog communication systems.
–– Extensive DSP, RF, communications, baseband analog model
libraries, and user-defined C++ models to design a reference
system quickly, providing accurate specifications and a
verification environment for DSP, RF, and baseband block
designers.
–– Co-simulation with RF (W2301 Circuit Envelope) and analog
(W2302 Transient Convolution) circuit simulators to enable
transistor level blocks such as amplifiers, mixers, and
oscillators, to be designed, optimized, and verified against
system level specifications.
–– Co-simulation with Circuit Envelope allows accurate non-
linear X-parameter behavioral models from measurement or
simulation to be used in system simulation.
–– Co-simulation with HDL digital simulators (Cadence NC-SIM,
Verilog XL, and Mentor Modelsim) enables HDL development
and verification against system specifications for error-free
ASIC/FPGA implementation.
–– Co-simulation with MATLAB enables MATLAB scripts IP
reuse for sophisticated DSP algorithm development.
–– Fixed point implementation analysis and optimization
enables fixed point math, bit-width and quantization effects
to be accounted for and optimized to the original ideal
floating point design with 13 powerful optimizers.
–– Connected Solutions with Keysight instruments allows
progressive system integration between virtual and available
real hardware by synthesizing and using real signals for one
pass final system implementation success.
–– Provides the simulation foundation for wireless standards
verification with Keysight’s Wireless Libraries for the latest
3G, 4G cellular, and data networking standards such as LTE,
WiMAX, and VWAN.
Unlike other system-level simulators, which can only use system
behavioral models and simulate only the envelope of the RF
carriers without taking into account impedance mismatches,
Keysight Ptolemy has none of these restrictions. Through its
true circuit-system-DSP co-simulation capabilities, it allows
any combination of circuit, system, DSP and measured non-
linear X-parameter blocks to be accurately simulated with true
modulated RF signals and accounts for signal reflections and
frequency mixing throughout the system.
Ptolemy is used to co-verify behavioral and circuit level RF and
baseband components in this pulse-compression radar system.
