GoldenGate 2013.10, a software of Agilent EEsof EDA that offered a ready-to-use Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), Bit Error Ratio (BER), and Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) measurement for RFIC engineer. Programmer. Whenever they were analysizing big signal, can fastly analized and confirmed the problem areas.

As the wireless networking standards LTE Advanced (4G) and 802.11ac (WLAN) are strict in terms of linearity, bandwidth, and noise control that lead to the big transformation of transceiver IC design. GoldenGate 2013 is a test platform, which allows RFIC engineer uses analyzer/curve tracer that measure up to standard, namely, EVM/ACLR measurement of transceiver, or analysis of sensitivity and desensitization of transceiver.

Zhing Zhi-ming, the general manager of Agilent Technologies Inc. of Taiwan said, “Our Radio Frequency (RF) system simulation uses real modulation signal that measures up to standards in terms of completely retrieves three stages of nonlinear, AM/AM and A/PM distortion, spectrum regeneration, and memory effect. ”

“These parameters are the key factor that to invent top RF products which meet the advanced wireless standard. Engineers could discover the problem design as soon as possible and found out those cost adding over-designed to reduce unnacessary die area of IC, or to understand power consumption.” also remarked by Zhing Zhi-ming.

GoldenGate also offered multi-technology that assists engineer in discovering, analyzing, and optimizating RF. The latest version of GoldenGate adds sensitivity analysis, which allows engineer to analyze RF while excuting big signal analyzing.
