Agilent Design Library Offers CDMA2000 Standard-Compliant Communication Design Capability.ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 1999-- Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. , Inc. today introduced at DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive World/ICSPAT the cdma2000 standard-compliant Agilent design library, a broadband code-division multiple access (CDMA) design library. The product helps designers of wireless products ensure successful development of CDMA communications products based on the IS-2000 standards expected to be deployed worldwide on top of the existing 2G CDMA infrastructure. The design library, which was developed by Agilent's EEsof product generation unit (PGU PGU Phil's pyGame Utilities PGU Plant Growth Unit PGU Projectile Gun Unit PGU Previant Goldberg Uelmen (Milwaukee, WI law firm) PGU Programme de Gestion Ubrbain (University of Montreal) ), consists of a complete set of behavioral models and test benches. It enables designers to develop and optimize baseband and RF signal processing See DSP. chips at the system level, where design choices have the greatest impact. This capability reduces development-cycle time for systems and helps engineers bring their communications products to market quickly. "Agilent continues to work cooperatively with several standard-setting organizations to develop leading-edge design software that conforms with the IMT-2000 standard proposed for third-generation digital-communications systems throughout the world," said Carter Smith, product manager for Agilent's EEsof PGU. "The cdma2000 standard-compliant design library builds on Agilent's commitment to provide comprehensive solutions in CDMA technology, from the second generation to the third and even beyond." Powerful Solution for Mixed-Signal Design and Test The cdma2000 standard-compliant design library is part of the Advanced Design System, a comprehensive, integrated design The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

The Advanced Design System allows the engineers to conduct mixed-signal design and simulation for cdma2000 with analog, radio frequency (RF) and digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). (DSP) in a single, integrated design environment. Once a desired signal is created with the software, it can also be downloaded to an Agilent ESG-D digital RF signal generator A signal generator, also known variously as a test signal generator, function generator, tone generator, arbitrary waveform generator, or frequency generator to test the prototype hardware design. This capability allow designers to create, measure and analyze all components of the system simultaneously, helping reduce design-cycle time significantly. U.S. Pricing and Availability The cdma2000 standard-compliant design library is priced starting at $20,000 and is available immediately for UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). (R) system platforms from HP and Sun, and for PCs using Windows(R) 95, 98 and Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. (R) 4.0 operating systems. Information about Agilent's EEsof PGU can be found on the Web at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpeesof.
