Motorola CDMA2000 designs
Motorola's Global Telecom Solutions Sector has chosen Synopsys' System Studio and the Synopsys' CDMA2000 Design Conformance Lab for performance analysis of Motorola's CDMA2000 system
Motorola used the Synopsys system-level solution to simulate the CDMA2000 wireless system operation, assessing critical product performance and helping reduce system design risk. CDMA2000 is a third-generation wireless technology that is backward compatible with the IS-95 wireless standard.

"Improving the performance in a wireless system has a big impact on our ability to deliver solutions that enable our customers to provide higher coverage and capacity", said Tony Goen, Director of Engineering, Chandler Lab, at Motorola.
"Synopsys' System Studio and the CDMA2000 Design Conformance Lab helped us quantify and assess the expected product performance much earlier in the product cycle than previous methods".
Exploring wireless system performance requires accurate models of the wireless standard and fast simulation for rapid design iterations at the system level.
The Design Conformance Lab contains models for CDMA2000, including the EVDV and EVDO extensions, as well as predefined scenarios for the analysis of standard conformance.
Motorola used System Studio's powerful modelling and analysis capabilities to easily model its proprietary architecture design and explore modem system performance in multiple CDMA2000 conformance scenarios, thereby analysing the behaviour of the virtual prototype before it was implemented.
"The combination of Synopsys' advanced system-level verification tools and expert wireless knowledge enables our customers to produce highly differentiated products", said Farhad Hayat, Vice President of Marketing for Synopsys' Verification Technology Group.
"With this engagement, Motorola has extended its use of Synopsys' System Studio, part of our Discovery Verification Platform, enabling reduced cycle time and earlier visibility to potential design issues".
The Synopsys CDMA2000 libraries allowed Motorola to verify the base station's system performance against the latest revision of the 3GPP2 standard and to complete important system-level simulations within a few weeks after System Studio and the CDMA2000 Design Conformance Lab were installed.
