AWR releases new RF system design software named VSS 2010

AWR has announced commercial release of its 2010 Visual System Simulator (VSS) software for RF system design. AWR says that this release will increase productivity for RF system designers; including time delay neural network (TDNN) advanced amplifier behavioral models for capturing memory effects and measurement data interchange format (MDIF) model support and a new phased array element for radar design engineers. This product has made enhancements to the VSS RFA architect tool and new communication models and signal processing blocks have been added.

The key features of VSS 2010 include:

1) TDNN based models:
--New circuit-based nonlinear behavioral model for VSS that can capture memory effects in power amplifiers.
2) Turbo Decoders:
--Support for turbo codes used in 3G/4G standards
--cdma2000, IS856, WiMAX, and LTE
--Library/components that can be used for decoding of custom turbo codes
3)Third party integrations:
--R&S WinIQSIM2 waveform generation software integration
--Support for all standards and variants within VSS, including export to R&S K96 for OFDM standards analysis
--MATLAB co-simulation

Availability: Now
