AWR Visual System Simulator™ Software Version 2009 Features Standards-Based Signals and New Component Models
Fully exploits advanced WIN process and AWR Microwave Office® 2009 software
  El
Segundo, CA — October 12, 2009 — AWR, the innovation leader in high-frequency electronic design
automation (EDA), today announced Version 2009 of its Visual System Simulator (VSS) software for the end-to-end
design and optimization of communications systems. The versatile simulation tool now supports AWR Connected (TM)
for Rohde & Schwarz that adds real-world test signals from the company’s R&S WinIQSIM2 instrument software to the
simulation to produce much greater accuracy than generic waveforms. VSS Version 2009 also features a new LTE
communication library, many new RF component models and measurement enhancements that let users gain greater
insight into performance of their designs throughout the design cycle.
AWR Connected for Rohde & Schwarz is the latest in the AWR Connected series of solutions that blend AWR
software with the hardware or specialized software from other vendors to extend the capabilities of AWR software
tools. R&S WinIQSIM2 software adds many standards-based, digitally-modulated waveforms to those already present
within VSS, including 3GPP LTE, 3GPP WCDMA FDD/HSPA/HSPA+, and WiMAX. This allows designers to use test signals in
the VSS simulation that are the same as the design will encounter in service. With R&S WinIQSIM2 within VSS,
signals created by a signal generator are sent back into VSS so the device under test can be optimized within the
software to meet the performance goals of specific wireless network standards.
The new components within
VSS Version 2009 include an LTE communication library, RF switches (with P1dB and IP3 parameters), analog and
digital phase shifters that use a digital control word, RF delay blocks that add frequency-dependent phase shift
to signals, digital step attenuators and voltage-variable attenuators, an RF combiner and splitter, a
two-input/two-output 90-deg. hybrid directional coupler, and receive and transmit antenna models.
Pricing and Availability
The pre-release of Visual System Simulator software Version
2009 is available now to qualified customers. Additional details can be obtained by viewing the “What’s New in VSS
v2009” PowerPoint slide show at
awrcorp.com/vss, or watching one of the three new videos
related to VSS Version 2009 posted on
AWR.TV, (“Memory effect modeling”, by Dr. Steven Maas of AWR, “VSS &
WinIQSIM2”, by Justin Stallings of Rohde & Schwarz, and “LTE communication system design”, by Dr. Gent Paparisto
of AWR).

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
