TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Announces Extended Simulation Coverage, UL Receiver Capability for Its 3GPP LTE Wireless Library.SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced a major update to the Agilent 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol LTE (Long Term Evolution) See 3GPP. Wireless Library for use with the company's Advanced Design System (ADS) EDA software. New uplink receiver models and improved uplink/downlink source models help wireless-systems designers and verification engineers speed development of the evolving 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) designs for next-generation mobile communications products. Agilent's 3GPP LTE Wireless Library is based on Release 8 of the 3GPP standard for the next generation of mobile communication products. It works within the ADS environment using the Agilent Ptolemy simulator to streamline the design and verification process. The library provides preconfigured Set up ahead of time. It implies that the device or software application has been modified to suit the customer or situation. See ghosting server. simulation setups with signal sources for downlink and uplink, along with transmitter analyses such as spectrum, complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF CCDF Child Care and Development Fund CCDF Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function CCDF Central Clothing Distribution Facility ) and waveform measurements. The new uplink receiver models facilitate error vector magnitude The error vector magnitude or EVM is a measure used to quantify the performance of a digital radio transmitter or receiver. A signal sent by an ideal transmitter or received by a receiver would have all constellation points precisely at the ideal locations, however various (EVM) and bit error rate (BER (1) (Basic Encoding Rules) A set of encoding rules for ASN.1 notation, which is a method for defining data structures. See ASN.1. (2) (Bit Error Rate) The average number of bits transmitted in error. See BERT. 1. ) measurements for UL simulations. Additionally, the library's uplink and downlink source models have been improved to conform to TS36.211 v1.1.1 (2007-05) of the 3GPP standard. "Agilent is firmly committed to evolving the 3GPP LTE Wireless Library to keep pace with the developing 3GPP LTE standard," said Frank Ditore, system architecture product manager with Agilent's EEsof EDA division. "This is demonstrated by our extending simulation coverage further into the physical layer chain and adding UL receiver capability. As a result, designers can now verify the algorithmic performance of their IP against known reference models and validate BER performance of early 3GPP LTE designs." Agilent has also recently updated the Mobile WiMAX(tm) Wireless Library. Updates include MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output) Pronounced "my-mo," it is the use of multiple transmitters and receivers (multiple antennas) on wireless devices for improved performance. support and inclusion of Convolution convolution /con·vo·lu·tion/ (-loo´shun) a tortuous irregularity or elevation caused by the infolding of a structure upon itself. Turbo Coding (CTC)/decoding and system measurements with the CTC codec. Agilent's Mobile WiMAX Wireless Library conforms to the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.16e-2005 standard. About Agilent ADS and Ptolemy Agilent ADS is a powerful electronic design automation software system for wireless, RF and microwave IC design. It provides designers with a complete set of front-to-back simulation and layout tools, as well as instrument links in a single, integrated design flow. Agilent Ptolemy is a system-level simulation and design environment within ADS. Based on a hybrid of data flow and timed synchronous technologies, it facilitates 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). co-design with analog/RF circuits. U.S. Pricing and Availability The Agilent 3GPP LTE and Mobile WiMAX Wireless Libraries are available now for purchase with Agilent's ADS 2006A Update 2. For a yearly time-based license, wireless-library pricing starts at $9,100.
