Integrated software solution ensures design
performance, improves accuracy and speeds time-to-market for
end-to-end 5G workflows
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
PathWave Design 2021, an open, scalable and predictable 5G and
mmWave software solution. It enables design and validation
engineers to accelerate delivery of chip, board and system products
by integrating device, circuit and system design with improved
performance and accuracy.
The 5G market is rapidly gaining broader acceptance. Network
operators are transitioning from 4G and rolling out commercial 5G
around the world. Equipment manufacturers and suppliers need to
optimize performance, cost (yield), and time-to-market in their
designs to be selected as vendor of choice for mainstream 5G
deployments. However, higher frequencies coupled with the
increasing design integration and complexity of 5G, require a
unified, end-to-end approach to eliminate late stage design
iterations and ensure first pass success.
“Current design methodologies for 4G and earlier standards use
approximate figures of merit to get designs to market quickly,”
said Tom Lillig, general manager of PathWave Software Solutions at
Keysight Technologies. “This legacy approach is insufficient for
modern designs, which increase integration requirements due to 5G
broadband modulation schemes. The design techniques developed with
previous generations of designs simply aren’t sufficient to meet
the 5G standards.”
Implements Best Practices in Radio Frequency (RF) and
Microwave Workflows
PathWave 5G addresses high frequency and complexity with new
capabilities across all design phases including simulation to
validation, as well as test and manufacturing. Engineers can
eliminate months from product schedules by implementing best
practices in their radio frequency/microwave (RF/MW) workflows such
as:
- Increasing the speed and reducing the complexity of chip level
analysis and verification with integrated EM simulation.
- Predicting performance at the circuit and system levels using
common modulated signals and accurate RF system models.
- Scaling the end-to-end ecosystem from device to circuit to test
and manufacturing with model-driven engineering.
- Accelerating the verification process by running simulations in
parallel in the high-performance cloud computing.
Keysight’s PathWave Design 2021 software suite enables:
- Power amplifier designers using RF Gallium Nitride (GaN)
superior power, size and efficiency advantages to model trapping
and thermal effects.
- Front-end module and RF transceiver designers to assemble
technologies to model packaging and coupling effects quickly and
efficiently.
- System integrators to predict system performance with RF
circuits, antennas and modulated signals.
- System architects to accurately perform RF modeling with a
combined platform for digital, RF and antenna system
simulation.
- Component manufacturers to validate the performance of their
designs in target system architectures.
- Phased array designers to conduct fast, accurate beamforming
simulations with realistic RF impairment modeling.
Keysight’s PathWave Design software suite includes: PathWave
Advanced Design System (ADS), PathWave RFIC Design (GoldenGate),
PathWave System Design (SystemVue), PathWave EM Design (EMPro) and
PathWave Device Modeling (IC-CAP), which deliver the key
capabilities needed to address 5G challenges, including radio
frequency/microwave (RF/MW) simulation and verification; electronic
system-level (ESL) simulation; and device modeling to improve
design speed, accuracy and robustness.
