The CAD software allows to modelize a complete transmission system (transmitter, propagation channel, receiver...), from the electronic component (transistor, varactor...) to the whole standard architecture (802.11, WiMax, 4G...). Any analogical and digital system can be designed, simulated and optimized via this software.

The arbitrary waveform generator by itself is able to generate any complex signal which is then possible to analyze after distribution in a system with the vector spectrum analyzer. The analysis vectorial software can demodulate this signal and offers visualisation options to show spectrum, constellations, eyediagram, BER... in order to accurately estimate the transmission system quality.

With this platform, it is also possible to extend measurements up to 6 GHz, with a received bandwidth analysis of 36 MHz. Moreover, the ESG and the VSA can both take into account the telecommunication standard or customised one.

Futhermore, the modelised signal with ADS can be loaded into the ESG I-Q memory, then the signal measured by the VSA can be recorded, transfered and compared to simulations. In conclusion this software/hardware interaction allows to test or conceive very realistic systems and offers us a practical benchmark for existing or future technologies.
