Leading developer of AM and FM digital broadcast technology iBiquity Digital has purchased a VStation-5M emulation system from IKOS Systems to be used for system integration and system verification. iBiquity Digital's first use of the IKOS system will be to verify a 1.5-million gate digital receiver design, which is an integral part of iBiquity Digital's iDAB technology. This new technology allows existing radio stations to use the current AM and FM spectrum to transmit analogue simultaneously with new higher quality digital signals that eliminate the static, hiss, pops and fades associated with today's reception.
The equipment built on this technology is expected to deliver new digital services simultaneously along with existing analogue radio broadcasts.
"We were looking for a solution with tremendous performance and a partner who would work closely with us", stated Wade Stone, senior member of the technical staff with iBiquity Digital.
"Because of our intricate testing requirements and the need to incorporate high-performance system-level verification, we found that IKOS' VStation-5M emulation system was exactly what we needed.
IKOS' product has the ability to implement data streaming in an emulation environment, thus drastically reducing the time it takes to perform extensive bit-error-rate testing".
"We are pleased to be working with a technology innovator such as iBiquity Digital," stated Ramon Nunez, president and CEO of IKOS Systems.
"They had a need for a verification solution capable of rapidly handling large data streaming test benches combined with simulator-like debug capabilities and our VStation-5M emulator is well suited to meet those requirements.
Working together, we were able to reduce the time it took for iBiquity Digital to run these tests from days to hours".
