07 Keysight 89600 VSA Software for use with Keysight EEsof EDA Simulation - Configuration Guide Using 89600 VSA with Keysight EEsof EDA Simulation How can we utilize 89600 VSA software with our simulation environment? There are several examples of 89600 VSA links in Keysight EDA SystemVue and ADS as the starting point. With the real-time streaming interface between SystemVue, ADS and 89600 VSA software, it is so simple to bring generated waveforms from simulation into test instruments for analysis. In addition, the source component is also available to import measurement data into the simulation. This enables the comparison between simulation results and measured results with hardware. This virtual hardware or golden receiver lets you uncover system problems before prototype hardware even exists. Figure 7. Application-based example in SystemVue with 3GPP LTE downlink transmission including ADS cosim block and 89600 VSA sink to visualize the streamed data.
