Automatic behavioral model generation suite for mobile phone system analysis

1. Abstract Current wireless RF Large Scale Integrated (RF LSI) circuit designs continue to become larger, more complex, and encompass more functionality. It is difficult to analyze a full RF LSI circuit’s functionality using a transistor-level representation with the modulation signal. Instead, current mobile systems are only specified by system-level specifications such as bit error rate or error vector magnitude at the output terminal. However, even after the individual blocks are designed and they meet their specifications, the designer still has to verify the full circuit performance. An automatic model generation process has been developed to analyze the full system functionality. This technique has achieved both accurate and efficient verification.
