    VHDL-AMS Simulation of RF Mixed-Signal Communication Systems

    Uploaded by

    VantharAla
    This document discusses using VHDL-AMS to simulate RF mixed-signal communication systems. It motivates the use of VHDL-AMS by describing the increasing demand for system-on-chip designs with RF, analog, and digital circuits and the need for a modeling language that supports multiple abstraction layers and mixed-signal design. It then outlines simulating a simple BPSK model in VHDL-AMS and comparing results to other modeling environments. The document also provides basics on the VHDL-AMS language and the design tools used.
