WVAN Wireless Library Helps Prevent Unnecessary Wafer Spins, Accelerates Product Development

(Product News, 7 May 2008)

Agilent Technologies Inc. has released a WVAN Wireless Library that helps prevent unnecessary wafer spins, accelerating deployment of next-generation 60GHz wireless video area networks (WVAN) for high-volume consumer video equipment. The library is for use with Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS) EDA software.

The Agilent WVAN Wireless Library includes portions of Version 1.0 PHY as simulation blocks, allowing WirelessHD consortium members to begin verifying transceiver RFIC designs months in advance of prototype circuits or commercial measurement personalities. The library also provides an external algorithmic verification reference, for early comparison and waveform generation.

The library is an option to the Agilent ADS 2008 software. It consists of transmit- and receive-oriented baseband coding blocks, as well as test benches to verify spectral masks, complementary cumulative distribution function and other physical layer measurements, and reference documentation.

Updates to the library are expected to provide channel coding blocks, receive functions, verification templates, documentation and other Layer 1 capabilities for the new standard.
