SystemVue Comms Architect

SystemVue Comms Architect dramatically cuts design time and verification effort for System Architects and Algorithm Developers doing communications system design at the physical layer (PHY).

SystemVue combines an easy to use environment with native polymorphic modeling and proprietary simulation technology to create an enhanced electronic system-level (ESL) design flow that “speaks RF”. Whereas the complexity of general-purpose environments suppresses creativity into mere analysis, SystemVue is designed specifically for the task of Communications PHY architects and hardware designers. It allows rapid investigation and creation of algorithms and signal processing architectures, as well as rapid prototyping, verification, and re-use, all the way from math fragment to live test equipment. SystemVue therefore helps system designers in aerospace/defense and commercial wireless turn their physical layer concepts into proven designs faster and with higher confidence than was possible before.

• Cut Comms physical layer (PHY) architecture design effort in half
• Yields higher real-world performance
• Fits within existing FPGA, DSP, ASIC, and RF design flows

Additional modules in the SystemVue product family enhance the core environment to deeper insights and application knowledge, to create a PHY design powerhouse.

The SystemVue Comm Architect is the foundation module in the SystemVue product family. Other modules may be added to this environment as pieces, or application-oriented bundles provide superior value for RF, FPGA, and enterprise needs.
