DATASHEET AWR Visual System Simulator Communications and radar systems design software Cadence ® AWR ® Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) communications and radar systems design software within the Cadence AWR Design Environment ® platform supports realistic measurements of mixed-signal (RF/digital) networks and cascaded RF blocks. It helps identify the source of spurious products and system metrics such as bit error rate (BER), all from a single system diagram. Designers of commercial and military transmitters and receivers can then create subsystem architectures, specify component requirements, and optimize for best overall performance. AWR Software Platform Conceptualize and rapidly implement virtual 5G New Radio (NR) and internet of things (IoT) communication and radar/ electronic warfare (EW) systems using RF/microwave and signal processing blocks based on measured, simulated, or projected behavior to investigate new architectures and study overall system performance. Design RF-aware systems and perform rigorous link budget design with RF/microwave behavioral models that incorporate linear and nonlinear performance metrics as well as terminal impedances that lead to power loss due to component-to-component impedance mismatch. Validate RF circuit specifications by co-simulating with Cadence AWR Microwave Office ® circuit design software for RF/microwave design, as well as the AWR Design Environment platform's Cadence AWR AXIEM ® planar and Cadence AWR Analyst™ arbitrary 3DEM solvers, to support communication measurements for individual components and validate component specifications to meet system requirements.
