ADS and SystemVue Integration

Keysight EEsof provides a way to combine the capabilities of ADS and SystemVue. The following
features are supported:
Create VTBs in SystemVue to be used in GoldenGate and ADS to verify the performance of the circuit.
Enable the circuit designers to make use of sources and measurement setups from SystemVue.

Install VTB
From ADS 2017, to install files that are required for the VTB functionality you need to download a
separate VTB installer (for Windows only). For Linux, the VTB installer is bundled with ADS installer.
It is recommended to download compatible ADS and VTB installers to the same directory. After the
download, run the ADS installer. This process will automatically install the VTB functionality.
If you have already installed ADS and find VTB functionality is missing, then you need to download and
install the VTB.

Uninstall VTB
When you uninstall ADS, the VTB add-on is also uninstalled.

Verification Test Bench

Verification Test Bench (VTB) and Verification Test Bench (VTB)

Component
The Verification Test Bench (VTB) is a SystemVue Data Flow design in a SystemVue workspace. The
Verification Test Bench (VTB) component is a regular component in the ADS simulation
environment, which is linked to the Verification Test Bench (VTB) in the SystemVue. VTBs enable
the circuit designer to make use of sources and measurement setups from SystemVue and verify the
performance of a circuit using real world complex modulated signals conforming to advanced
wireless standards such as 2G/3G/4G/5G.

From ADS 2017, to install files that are required for the VTB functionality you need to download a
separate VTB installer (for Windows only). For Linux, the VTB installer is bundled with ADS installer.
It is recommended to download compatible ADS and VTB installers to the same directory. After the
download, run the ADS installer. This process will automatically install the VTB functionality.
If you have already installed ADS and find VTB functionality is missing, then you need to download and
install the VTB.

Creating VTBs
VTBs are created by a system designer in a compatible SystemVue environment and then used by a
circuit designer working in ADS . For information on how to create a VTB, refer to the SystemVue
documentation.

For the list of compatible versions, see ADS and SystemVue Compatibility.

In a schematic design, you can use only one VTB at a time. Using more than one VTB displays the
following error message “Envelope 'VTB1_Env': multiple VTB components are found in the design, VTB1,
VTB2”.

Built-in VTB Components

ADS provides some built-in VTB components for the standard wireless standards from SystemVue.
They can be accessed from the component palette list or the component library browser in a
Schematic view . Following are the list of built-in VTBs available with ADS:
5G Advanced Modem Workspaces
Bluetooth Workspaces
Communications Workspaces
DigitalMod Workspaces
LTE Advanced Workspaces
LTE Workspaces
NB IoT Workspaces

ADS and SystemVue Integration

RADAR Workspaces
WLAN 11ac Workspaces
WLAN 11ad Workspaces

The corresponding SystemVue workspaces for these builtin-VTB components are installed in your
$HPEESOF_DIR/SystemVue.

Customized VTB Components

You can create VTBs in a compatible SystemVue and then use it in your design. For more
information on how to create VTBs, refer to Creating a VTB in the SystemVue documentation. For
the list of compatible versions, see ADS and SystemVue Compatibility.

It is recommended to run the VTB in SystemVue before integration. For running the VTB, you may
need to bypass the SVE_Link device. Reset the SVE_Link device state before saving the VTB file to
be used in ADS.

Each VTB is represented as a single file. After the VTB creation, the file is stored in a directory from
where it can be read/accessed to be used in the design.

Importing Customized VTBs

To import a custom VTB, do the following:

1. Click the Library view tab from the ADS Main window.
Select a Library and right-click to select Configure Library.
or
Select DesignKits > Manage Libraries from the ADS Main window.
Click Configure Library from the Manage Libraries dialog box.
The Library Configuration Editor dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the VTB tab.

3. Click Browse or specify the VTB file name (*.wsv) associated with the library.
If the VTB exists, the Import this VTB option will be automatically enabled and selected.

8
ADS and SystemVue Integration

4. Click Apply followed by OK.

The VTB will be added in the library as a symbol view.
You can import only one *.wsv file per library. If a library already contains custom VTB
components, and you want to import another *.wsv file into the same library, you will be
prompted to delete the existing VTB components in that library. If you do not want to delete
them, you need to create a new library to import the *.wsv file.

Selecting and Placing the VTB Components

For the built-in VTB components, do the following:
Select and place a VTB component through the component palette list.
or
Select Insert > Component> Component Library.
The Component Library window is displayed.
Select and place a VTB component from the ads_verification_test_bench library available under
the ADS Analog/RF Libraries.

For the customized VTB components, do the following:

Enter the VTB name in the Component History and press Enter in the Schematic view.
Click to place the VTB at the desired location in the design.
or
Expand the custom Library cell and drag-drop the VTB at the desired location in the design.

Specifying the VTB Component Parameters

After placing the VTB component, double-click to view the VTB-specific parameters under the
Parameters tab as shown in the following figure.

9
ADS and SystemVue Integration

For information on each of the parameters, see the parameters section of the built-in VTB
components. You can either specify a value or use equation, nominal, sweep, optimization, or
statistical design variables with nominal value to set the VTB parameters.

Viewing the VTB Property Summary

The VTB associated properties are displayed under the VTB Summary tab as shown in the following
figure.

10

cosimulation. It will set up Envelope controller with the fundamental frequencies as the port's

12
ADS and SystemVue Integration

carrier frequencies.

To place the Envelope Controller, click Insert Envelope Controller on Schematic. The following
steps will take place:
Before placing the controller, the simulator checks whether there are any active Envelope controllers
on the schematic. If an active Envelope controller already exists on the schematic, Remove Envelope
Controllers dialog box is displayed. It allows you to either keep the existing controller or insert a new

13
ADS and SystemVue Integration

one.

Calculate the port's carrier frequencies if required (for example, you modified the parameters).
Once the port's carrier frequencies are available, Insert Envelope Controller dialog box is displayed
with default fundamentals for the controller. If the port's carrier frequencies are the same, there will be
only one fundamental for Envelope controller by default. Otherwise, there will be multiple
fundamentals, each one corresponding to one port's carrier frequency.

After you click OK, an Envelope controller with initial fundamental setup will be inserted on the
schematic. Select Do not show this dialog again to avoid the dialog box to be displayed again.

ACPR_Measurement

ACPR_Measurement_Analysis
This VTB design demonstrates how VTBs can be set up to post-process simulation data. It measures
ACPR for a modulated signal. The symbol rate and the modulation format of the signal can be set
using VTB parameters. The modulator output power is also set using a VTB parameter. The signal at
the output of the modulator goes through a non-linear amplifier whose output 1 dB compression

aggregation, including spectrum, waveform, CCDF, EVM and ACLR according to [1].
A simple design to use this VTB is shown below.

The center frequency of the input signal to DUT( SVE_Link in the design) is set by FCarrier_In, while
center frequency of the output signal from DUT( SVE_Link in the design) is set by FCarrier_Out.
The sampling rate of the aggregated signal is explicitly specified by OutputSampleRate. Make sure

SSignalCombiner. Also, make sure OutputSampleRate is multiple of the base sample rate of each
component carrier.

By default, two component carriers are transmitted. The frequency of each component carrier (CC)
is set by CC#_FCarrier. By setting those center frequencies, this design can generate either
contiguous or noncontiguous aggregated signal either intra-band or inter-band. Again, please make
sure OutputSampleRate is sufficient to analyze the aggregated signal.

Component carrier 0 would always be transmitted, while other component carriers can be turned
off by set CC#_Enable to NO. Up to 5 component carriers are supported. Each component carrier
can be configured independently. Please open the workspace in SystemVue then you can find
parameters to configure each component carrier.

The ideal lowpass filter for spectrum shaping can be turned on/off by parameter EnableTxFilter. The
number of taps can be set by FIR_Taps. If EnableTxFilter is set to NO, no spectrum shaping would be
applied. The same spectrum shaping is implemented for each component carrier.

Users can select one component carrier for EVM measurement by setting parameter CCToMeas. It
should be set in the range [0,4]. By default, a ParksMcClellan bandpass filter is used before EVM

How to set SVE_Link properties in LTE workspaces

Users can optionally define the SVE_Link properties by setting DefineProperties to YES. When
DefineProperties is set to YES, parameters related to SVE_Link properties, including
InFeedbackLoop, SampleRate, and InputFcs, can be defined by values or expressions.
InFeedbackLoop: Specify whether the SVE_Link is in a feedback loop: NO, YES. In LTE Tx examples, e.g.
3GPP_LTE_BS_Tx, there is no feedback loop, hence InFeedbackLoop is set to NO. In LTE Rx examples,
e.g. 3GPP_LTE_UE_ReferenceSensitivity, HARQ feedback could be enabled by setting parameter
UE1_HARQ_Enable to YES, hence, InFeedbackLoop is set to UE1_HARQ_Enable.
SampleRate: Sample rate of the signal. In LTE examples, in the Equations tab of the design,
SamplingRate of the LTE system is calculated from Bandwidth and OversamplingOption. Hence,
SampleRate is directly set to SamplingRate. The base sample rate of 1.4MHz, 3MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz,
15MHz and 20MHz LTE systems are 1.92MHz, 3.84 MHz, 7.68 MHz, 15.36 MHz, 23.04 MHz and 30.72
MHz, respectively.
InputFcs: Array of characterization frequencies of input envelope signals. In current LTE examples,
there is only one input port in SVE_Link model, hence, InputFcs is set to [FCarrier_In].

Otherwise, when DefineProperties is set to NO, the VTB process will analyze the full design and
provide such information to the integrating tool.

receiver ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an
adjacent channel signal with a specified center frequency offset of the interfering signal to the band
edge of a victim system. The interfering signal shall be an E-UTRA signal as specified in Annex C of
3GPP TS 36.104.
A simple design to use this VTB is shown below.

The wanted and the interfering signal should be configured according to Table 7.5.1-3, Table
7.5.1-4 and Table 7.5.1-5 for Wide Area BS, Local Area BS and Home BS, respectively.

99
ADS and SystemVue Integration

The center frequency of the input signal to DUT(SVE_Link in the design) is set by FCarrier_In, while
center frequency of the output signal from DUT(SVE_Link in the design) is set by FCarrier_Out.

RF distortions can be simulated by setting parameters GainImbalance, PhaseImbalance, etc.

An AddNDensity model with NDensity = -173.975dBm is used to introduce thermal noise for room
temperature (T = 300K). The noise figure is set by parameter NF.

The wanted signal mean power is set by parameter P_WantedSig, while the interfering signal mean
power is set by parameter P_Interferer.

The ideal low pass filter for spectrum shaping can be turned on/off by parameter EnableTxFilter.
The number of taps can be set by FIR_Taps. If EnableTxFilter is set to NO, no spectrum shaping
would be applied.

The interfering signal center frequency offset is set by parameter Foffset_Interferer.

Foffset_Interferer ≤ 0 indicates the center frequency of the interferer is lower than the lower edge of
the wanted signal, otherwise, the center frequency of the interferer is higher than the upper edge of
the wanted signal.

The bandwidth of the interfering signal is determined by the bandwidth of the wanted signal
according to Table 7.5.1-3 ~ Table 7.5.1-5, i.e. if Bandwidth of the wanted signal is smaller than
5MHz, the interfering signal would have the same bandwidth as the wanted signal, otherwise, the
bandwidth of the interfering signal is 5MHz.

HARQ retransmission can be enabled by setting HARQ_Enable to YES. When HARQ retransmission
is enabled, EnableTxFilter should be set to NO as ideal lowpass filter is not supported in HARQ
retransmission in current SystemVue version. A number of HARQ processes is 8 for FDD and 7 for
TDD. A maximum number of HARQ transmissions is set to 4. The redundancy version sequence is
set to [0,1,2,3].

A Parks-McClellan bandpass filter centered at FCarrier_Out is used on the receiver side. The
PassBandwidth is set to the transmission bandwidth of the wanted signal, and the StopBandwidth
is set to the channel bandwidth. For example, if Bandwidth of wanted signal is 5MHz, then
PassBandwidth = 4.5MHz, StopBandwidth = 5MHz. This filter could be disabled by setting
parameter EnableRxFilter to NO.

By default, the reference measurement channels specified in Annexes A of 3GPP TS 36.104 are
used. If you want to customize the test configuration, please open this workspace in SystemVue
and set UseFRC to NO and set the payload configuration and RB allocation.

VTB workspaces are provided to analyze NB IoT transmitter characteristics for both user equipment
and base station, respectively

UE Tx
LTE_Advanced_NBIoT_DL_Tx

BS Tx
LTE_Advanced_NBIoT_UL_Tx

In the current implementation, there are only one input port and one output port in the SVE_Link model
used in NB IoT workspaces, which means the DUT (design in ADS/GoldenGate environment) should only
have one input and one output. In the examples, the DUT is connected to the modulator.

How to set SVE_Link properties in NB IoT workspaces

Users can optionally define the SVE_Link properties by setting DefineProperties to YES. When
DefineProperties is set to YES, parameters related to SVE_Link properties, including
InFeedbackLoop, SampleRate, and InputFcs, can be defined by values or expressions.
InFeedbackLoop: Specify whether the SVE_Link is in a feedback loop: NO, YES. In NBIoT examples,
there is no feedback loop, hence InFeedbackLoop is set to NO.
SampleRate: Sample rate of the signal. In NB IoT examples, in the Equations tab of the design,
SamplingRate of the NBIoT system is calculated from BaseSampleRate and OversamplingOption.
Hence, SampleRate is directly set to SamplingRate. The base sample rate for downlink is 1.92MHz. For
uplink, it's 1.92MHz for 15kHz subcarrier spacing and it's 240kHz for 3.75kHz subcarrier spacing.
InputFcs: Array of characterization frequencies of input envelope signals. In current NB IoT examples,
there is only one input port in SVE_Link model, hence, InputFcs is set to [FCarrier_In].

Otherwise, when DefineProperties is set to NO, the VTB process will analyze the full design and
provide such information to the integrating tool.

of the data is collected by the sinks. In this mode, the Circuit Envelope stop time and time step are
given by SystemVue and cannot be set by the user. The sources and sinks are internally managed
by the SystemVue Engine while the circuit is simulated by ADS. The source ports and sink
terminations do not generate any thermal noise in the Circuit Envelope simulation. Only those
circuit components that are present in the circuit schematic will generate noise, assuming that the
Circuit Envelope controller has the "Turn on all noise option" enabled. If thermal noise is desired on
the input signal or output sinks, it should be generated by the SystemVue design.

If the SystemVue design cannot be modified, then this noise can be added to the circuit schematic
by adding a noise voltage source between the VTB and the circuit; an example is shown below.

163
ADS and SystemVue Integration

Basic Co-simulation
After creating the circuit design, insert a VTB component as a source/sink in the circuit to verify its
performance.

Setting up the VTB Component

You can modify the VTB component by double-clicking the component. For information on each of
the parameters, see the parameters section of the built-in VTB components.

Setting up the Envelope Controller

It is advisable to insert an Envelope controller from the VTB component. This will ensure that the
controller contains the default fundamental frequencies, which work well for most of the designs.
Once the Envelope controller is available, double-click the controller to modify its parameters.

164
ADS and SystemVue Integration

Times Are not Editable

When the design is in the VTB mode, the Stop Time and Time step of the controller are determined
by the SystemVue engine during cosimulation and are not editable.

165
ADS and SystemVue Integration

Fast Envelope Setup

The Fast Envelope cosimulation, results in better performance. To enable the fast envelope
cosimulation, do the following:
1. Click the Fast Cosim tab.
2. Select Enable fast cosimulation.

3. Set the parameters appropriately for cosimulation.

166
ADS and SystemVue Integration

Other Envelope Parameters

You can also modify other envelope parameters. For information, see Envelope Simulation
Parameters.

The RF simulation output by default is disabled on the Envelope controller. If you enable it by modifying
the Output tab of the Envelope controller, it will affect the cosimulation performance and create a huge
RF simulation dataset.

Specifying the Simulation Settings

The Simulation Settings is used to specify the dataset and the Data Display similar to the regular
ADS simulation.

For the cosimulation, there are two different datasets:

Results from RF Simulator: the dataset name is the one specified in the Simulation Settings. In the
above example, the name is cell_1.ds
Results from SystemVue Engine: the dataset name is the one specified with additional
<cellname>_VTB, for example: cell_1_VTB.ds

RF-SystemVue cosimulation does not support Remote, Distributed, or Simulation Manger mode.

167
ADS and SystemVue Integration

Simulating the Design

Click the Simulate icon or select Simulate > Simulate from the Schematic view to start the
simulation. This co-simulation can take very long to complete. The status window will indicate the
progress of the simulation.

Viewing the VTB Results

Once the simulation finishes, the simulation results from the SystemVue engine will be
automatically displayed in the Data Display (DDS), if the Open Data Display when simulation
completes option is selected in the Simulation Settings dialog box.
To view the RF simulation results after the simulation has run:
Select Window > New Data Display Window from the Schematic view.
or
Click the New Data Display Window icon from the toolbar.
The Data Display window is displayed.

The RF simulation output by default is disabled on the Envelope controller. To output it, you need to
modify the Output tab of Envelope controller.

Advanced Co-simulation

Supported Advanced Simulation Controllers

Parameter Sweep with RF-SystemVue Co-simulation
Monte Carlo with RF-SystemVue Co-simulation

Limitations
MeasEqn can only measure RF simulation results.
VTB parameter PortZ is not supported with Parameter Sweep.
Optimization, Yield, YieldOptim, Doe, Sensitivity are not supported.

168
ADS and SystemVue Integration

Model Export

Model Export
With the ADS and SystemVue integration, comprehensive verification of RFIC and Mixed-Signal
designs is possible using SystemVue. From ADS 2017 update 0.3, ADS can create and export
behavioral models to be used by SystemVue. Following is the supported method for model export.
Exporting Fast Circuit Envelope Models

ADS always performs a full envelope simulation before the export procedure. This allows the
verification of the circuit. It is assumed that the circuit is working fine, before the export procedure.
The normal ADS result structure is available after the verification simulation.

169
ADS and SystemVue Integration

Exporting Fast Circuit Envelope Models

ADS creates an FCE model file after performing a standard fast envelope simulation (Fast Envelope
= Level 1 or Level 3). This file can be transferred to SystemVue, and used with the
FastCircuitEnvelope model of the Data Flow Library. For more information, refer to the SystemVue
documentation.

How to Generate an FCE Model File

To generate an FCE model file, perform the following steps:
1. Create or open a schematic.
2. Add Circuit Envelope simulation controller.
3. Configure the CE controller parameters and on the Env Setup tab, make the following settings:
a. Select Enable Fast Envelope.
b. Select the Modeling level option.
c. Select the Modeling accuracy option.
For more information on CE parameters, see Envelope Simulation Parameters.
4. Run the simulation.

After simulating the design, an *.fce model file is created in the data directory. Invoke SystemVue
and instantiate a FastCircuitEnvelope model to configure the settings and run the behavioral model
with SystemVue. For more information, refer to the SystemVue documentation.
