PathWave System Design 2023 speeds design process for 5G non-terrestrial networks and other wireless systems. Allows radio system designers to create digital twins of their architectures and transform from hardware-centric to simulation-centric design flow.

Supports engineers working in radio frequency circuit, sub-assembly, and mission or system-of-systems applications by connecting system, baseband, and hardware verification tools in complete RF system modeling workflow. Performs phased array analysis that captures all non-ideal effects across channels and amplifiers and antennas. Also enables frequency domain nonlinear system modeling to predict application-specific system behavior.

New features include:
• Updated 5G transceiver to support NTN in conjunction with PathWave Vector Signal Analysis 2023.
• Two new simulation user interfaces: the Digital Pre-distortion Explorer for circuit level designers in PathWave Advanced Design System and the DPD Designer for architects in PathWave System Design.
• New Load Pull modeling that creates phased array digital twin with power amplifier models derived from Keysight instrumentation or circuit-level simulation.
• Connectivity with Keysight’s EXata software and PROPSIM Channel Studio software that enables mission engineers to create a 5G network-level digital twin.
