Assuring System-Level to Circuit-Level
Wireless-Standard Compliance
GoldenGate features links to system-level
analysis—from architectural exploration up to
full co-simulation with data flow engines—for
verification of the complex measurements
required by today’s wireless standards. These
scalable links support various levels of interaction
ranging from simple input/output file exchange to
powerful integration with Keysight test equipment,
ADS Ptolemy and SystemVue.
GoldenGate integrates with SystemVue via FCE
model exchange, full co-simulation and through
easy-to-use Verification Test Benches (VTBs).
Such flexibility. Such flexibility makes it ideal for a
range of uses, whether performing architectural
exploration, block-level specification refinement
or complete standard-compliant system tests
(e.g., EVM or BER).

Links with SystemVue provide access to Keysight’s powerful
VSA instrument software.

GoldenGate lets designers investigate the impact of
blockers on system-level metrics directly in Virtuoso.
Wireless Standard
Compliance Overview
– Full radio functionality verification using Keysight’s
extensive standard-compliant wireless libraries through
scalable links to test equipment and ESL platforms
– Multiple links with SystemVue
– Fast Circuit-Envelope (FCE) model export to
SystemVue
– Full GoldenGate – SystemVue co-simulation
– Pre-configured standard-compliant Verification Test
Benches (VTBs)
– Access to ADS-Ptolemy test benches for co-verification
– Links to Keysight test equipment
– Stimuli creation through Signal Studio
– Standard-compliant post-processing in Keysight’s
Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) software
– Avoid overdesigning RFICs
– Impairments of “as designed” RFICs visible to
system engineer
– Low barrier for RF verification engineer to access
standard-compliant modulated signals
