VIRTUOSO SPECTRE RF SIMULATION OPTION
Designers need faster, high-performance, silicon-accurate simulation and analysis that covers the entire RF design spectrum, from simple blocks to complete systems. Virtuoso® Spectre RF is a comprehensive solution for fast and accurate simulation and analysis of RF and high-speed integrated circuits (such as RF transceivers, frequency synthesizers, and power amplifiers) and of heavily non-linear time-variant analog circuits (such as switched-capacitor circuits, data converters, and switching power supplies).
Integrated with the Virtuoso platform, Virtuoso Spectre RF complements the SPICE-level analog simulation capabilities of the Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator with RF simulation and analysis technologies. If offers a frequency-domain harmonic balance engine for faster, accurate simulation of high dynamic-range weakly non-linear RF circuits, and it uses a patented time-domain shooting algorithm optimized for highly non-linear circuits.
Key Benefits
 | High-performance, silicon-accurate simulation of RF and high-frequency circuits, from simple blocks (mixers and oscillators) to complete systems (RF transceivers and frequency synthesizers) | | A faster alternative to transient analysis of heavily non-linear time-variant analog circuits (frequency multipliers and dividers, switched-capacitor circuits, and switching power supplies) | | Accurate and efficient post-layout simulation with RLCK parasitics, S-Parameter models (n-port), and lossy, coupled transmission lines (mtline) | | Application-specific analysis of RF performance parameters (spectral response, gain compression, inter-modulation distortion, impedance matching, stability, and isolation) | | Detailed analysis of time-variant noise, enabling accurate calculation of noise figure, phase noise, and jitter | | Higher design quality using silicon-accurate, foundry-certified device models shared within Virtuoso Multi-Mode Simulation |
