The Keysight Technologies, Inc. Wireless Libraries provide

“Golden Reference” models and verification templates

for the latest communication standards to the Advanced

Design System (ADS). They are integrated into ADS, the only

design simulation platform that enables the co-design of

IC, package, and board in high-frequency and high-speed

applications. ADS seamlessly integrates system, circuit, and

full 3D electromagnetic simulation with Keysight’s test instru-

mentation, resulting in repeatable, first-pass electronic design

success.

Keysight’s Wireless Libraries for ADS enable the earliest

possible start for the design and verification of the RF-PHY

for the latest emerging wireless standards such as 3GPP-

LTE, WiMedia and VWAN. These wireless libraries contain

comprehensive signal processing models and pre-configured

simulation setups containing sources and demodulation

that comply fully with the latest wireless specifications.

The signal generation and demodulation algorithms are

consistent with Keysight instrumentation to bring instrument-

level compliance and accuracy into RF-PHY simulation and

verification.

Because of Keysight’s active participation in the standards-

setting committees and the company’s own critical need for

test instrumentation design and development, Keysight’s

wireless libraries for ADS are the industry’s first to emerge,

alongside the latest communications standards.

Keysight’s Wireless Libraries for ADS enable “Connected

Solutions” with Keysight instruments to generate and import

actual waveforms for the verification of RF hardware designs

such as RFIC, RF modules, or RF PC boards. Combining the

baseband algorithmic accuracy of the wireless library models

with actual RF/IF HW measurements accelerates integration

and testing of high-performance RF-PHY subsystems. For

example, designers can measure and optimize the EVM and

ACLR of RF power amplifiers, transmitters, and receiver

components for multi-mode, multi-band operations. No

other available RF-PHY verification solution is as early,

specification-compliant and easy to set up and use. System

and RF component designers can take advantage of Wireless

Libraries for ADS to save time and development costs and

lower the risk of re-design spins in new wireless product

development. A description of Wireless Libraries and

collections of libraries follows.
