W2361EP/ET Ptolemy and VTB Engine

Use Keysight Ptolemy to verify complete RF physical layer

design against fully industry-compliant wireless standards

The W2361EP/ET Ptolemy and VTB Engine provides communication system simulation

comprising of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), RF-mixed signal and baseband system

design capabilities to the Advanced Design System (ADS), the flagship product from

Keysight EEsof EDA, the technology and innovation leader in high-frequency mixed-

signal electronic design automation (EDA). It is the only design simulation platform that

enables the co-design of IC, package and board in high-frequency and high-speed

applications. It seamlessly integrates system, circuit, and full 3D electromagnetic

simulation with Keysight’s test instrumentation, resulting in repeatable, first-pass

electronic design success.

Keysight Ptolemy is uniquely designed to enable the thorough simulation of modern

communications systems, such as wireless and wireline transceivers and spread-

spectrum radars, which include DSP, RF, and baseband mixed-signal components. It

co-simulates with RF (W2301 Circuit Envelope), analog (W2302 Transient Convolution

Simulator) and digital HDL (Cadence NC-Sim and Mentor Modelsim) simulators to enable

comprehensive RF mixed signal system design and optimization with both the behavioral

and transistor-level blocks.
