DATASHEET 5G Systems with AWR Software Communications standards library supports simulation and modeling of 5G systems The 5G library, inclusive of testbenches and phased array development features, works seamlessly with the Cadence ® AWR Design Environment ® platform. From beamsteering and multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO)-based antenna systems to new modulation waveforms, 5G has adopted many new technologies to achieve its high data capacity and low-latency performance goals. Simulation and modeling plays an important role in the development of these new technologies driving 5G products. Software solutions for phased array antenna development, along with access to standards-based signals and preconfigured virtual testbenches for 5G uplink/downlink communication systems, are needed to help component and system developers simulate real-world operating conditions. 5G Advantage The 5G library gives Cadence AWR ® Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) software users access to current 5G candidate signals, implemented as a fully parameterized block with source subcircuits that provide adjustable parameters such as carrier frequency, subcarrier spacing, number of subcarriers, filtering, and subcarrier mapping. The library also includes the powerful phased array antenna generator wizard for developing MIMO and beamsteering arrays and feed networks. It works with AWR VSS software to support accurate link-budget analysis, inclusive of over-the-air (OTA) channel effects for spectral interference mitigation, and component perfor- mance specifications.
