5G NR Library and DPD Models
The 5G NR library offers easy-to-configure signal sources and receivers that can be used to evaluate RF components
and/or RF links using system-level measurements. New testbenches accelerate the component design and evaluation
process with preconfigured 5G NR transmit (TX) and receive (RX) blocks and measurements supporting TX/RX function-
ality for both downlink and uplink.
5G NR libraries and test models for TX/RX device and RF link validation
Conclusion
AWR Design Environment V15 software brings new and enhanced RF/microwave design and simulation to the Cadence
portfolio of EDA solutions. Advanced design automation optimizes engineering throughput and productivity by reducing
manual design tasks and supporting tool interoperability.
New circuit simulation capabilities address fast and rigorous nonlinear stability analysis for multi-stage and balanced
amplifiers, and video-band load pull to optimize low-frequency impedance terminations for reduced intermodulation
distortion. Network synthesis supports impedance network development using vendor components and process design
kits (PDKs), and a new integrated transmission-line calculator and synthesis capabilities launched directly from
schematic.
Robust simulation engines solve large structures more quickly using EM analysis with enhanced meshing and smart
geometry handling for chip, package, and board characterization. Preconfigured, 5G NR-compliant testbenches provide
signal sources and measurements for PA and RF link validation.
