SimRF

Design and simulate RF systems


Communication system model (middle), SimRF blocks (top right), a spectrum scope display of the input signal and interfering waveform (top left), and constellation diagram of the demodulated output waveform (bottom left).

SimRF provides a component library and simulation engine for designing RF systems. It includes mixers, amplifiers, S-parameter blocks, and other basic blocks for architectural design and modeling of wireless transceivers. You can connect these components arbitrarily to form diverse architectures and to model system-level impairments. SimRF enables simulation of RF gain, noise, and intermodulation distortion commonly attributed to RF amplifiers. It provides circuit envelope technology for simulating RF impairments uniquely associated with mixers, including image rejection, reciprocal mixing, local oscillator phase offsets, DC conversion, and DC offsets. Equivalent baseband technology is also included, enabling fast simulation of single-carrier cascaded systems.

"Building a high-frequency, high-capacity, highly available wireless link is an engineering challenge. Using Simulink, we modeled and simulated the entire design before moving to hardware. Getting into the lab with confidence in the design is a huge benefit."
