Agilent Technologies' New System-Level Communications
Design Software Speeds Development Cycle
 Tuesday
March 3, 2009, 11:00 am EST - SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A
- News) today announced the availability of
SystemVue
2008.12, a new platform for electronic system-level (ESL) design. The new platform delivers modeling,
design-flow improvements and baseband IP libraries that can cut months from physical layer (PHY) design time for
high-performance communications algorithms and system architectures in both wireless and aerospace/defense
applications.
The new release accelerates development of high-performance PHYs for Software-Defined Radio
(SDR) and other applications with three key contributions:
- a new, open ESL platform that connects multi-language algorithm design up to the communications system
level, as well as down to hardware implementation and verification, for a more complete model-based flow;
- high-performance RF PHY simulation technology with links to RF and hardware verification; and,
- high-quality standards-based libraries for WiMAX™ and LTE baseband algorithm and hardware developers.
“SystemVue 2008 unifies capabilities from a variety of separate tool sets to produce airworthy, high-performance
PHYs faster than ever before,” said Frank Ditore, product marketing manager with Agilent’s EEsof EDA division.
“SystemVue makes existing hardware environments more effective for high-performance systems design.”
The new
platform gives algorithm designers a view of working reference PHY blocks at the system level, while connecting
them to rapid-prototyping and RF test for baseband hardware design and verification.
About SystemVue
Agilent’s SystemVue platform for electronic system-level design
unites signal processing with RF design into a single, creative, system-level workflow. SystemVue’s simulation
technology, standards-based verification and system design-to-verification flow cut total design time in half.
These capabilities also make verification possible earlier in the design process. SystemVue’s applications include
Software Defined Radio, LTE and WiMAX. It is an ideal platform for system architects, algorithm developers and
hardware designers who create or implement digital signal processing for commercial wireless and aerospace/defense
systems. Additional information is available at
www.agilent.com/find/eesof-systemvue.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
SystemVue is available now for download and evaluation.
Pricing for typical configurations starts at approximately $15,000.
