Signal processing libraries for 802.11ac WLAN and 60-GHz 802.11ad

Agilent Technologies Inc. has released digital signal processing reference libraries called SystemVue 2011.10 for emerging connectivity standards IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11ad, and delivers updates for 4G-LTE, 3G-HSPA and wideband digital predistortion libraries. These libraries will help PHY system architects and component designers accelerate product design cycles and achieve higher overall system performance, as per Agilent.

The W1917EP library is offered to help validate baseband algorithms, nonlinear RF components and system performance when integrating system-on-a-chip chipsets into next-generation wireless products, says Agilent.

The W1915EP mmWave WPAN baseband verification library targets system architects working at 60 GHz, where measurement challenges are even more difficult. The library provides transmit and receive reference designs for simulation-based validation of the 802.11ad physical layer.

Agilent's SystemVue 2011.10 is available for download at www.agilent.com/find/eesof-systemvue-latest-downloads. Pricing for the SystemVue environment starts at approximately $17,000. A free, 30-day evaluation is available at www.agilent.com/find/eesof-systemvue-evaluation.
