Keysight Technologies introduces industry’s first 5G exploration library

Keysight Technologies, Inc. today introduced the Keysight EEsof EDA 5G Baseband Exploration Library. Providing ready-to-use reference signal processing intellectual property (IP) for 5G technology research, this industry-first library dramatically increases the productivity for system architects and baseband physical layer (PHY) designers.

Keysight’s 5G Baseband Exploration Library supports various 5G candidate waveforms for orthogonal and non-orthogonal multi-carrier communication systems, including advanced MIMO and beamforming signal processing. The library also provides transmitter and reference receiver modeling examples that can be easily re-designed to achieve optimal performance for comparison of each of the candidate standards proposals.

The new library consists of source code, models, subsystems, simulation examples, and infrastructure components for the high quality, rapid development and verification of advanced digital modems using Keysight’s SystemVue electronic system level simulation platform. The source code instills algorithmic confidence and provides an independent self-documenting reference library that allows system architects, algorithm developers and baseband hardware designers to quickly replace and modify blocks and subsystems to meet the needs of their specific end product. SystemVue’s integrated simulation environment allows users to investigate, implement and verify their communications PHY signal processing designs with dynamic link-level scenarios.

The W1465 SystemVue System Architect simulation environment is used to develop innovative designs for R&D. Adding the new 5G Baseband Exploration Library to the mix provides:

+Advanced digital signal processing blocks for 5G candidate waveform technologies.

+End-to-end physical layer transmit and receive simulation models.

+Signaling schemes for MIMO channels including spatial multiplexing, space-time coding and multiple detection methods.

+Reference waveform generation to verify RF circuit designs.

U.S. Pricing and Availability

Keysight’s W1906BEL 5G Baseband Exploration Library will be available in late November as part of the new SystemVue 2014 release. Interested parties may request early access through enrollment in the SystemVue Early Access Program at www.keysight.com/find/eesof-systemvue-earlyaccess.
