Wireless transceivers for digital telecommunications are heterogeneous systems that combine digital hardware, software and analog circuitry. The pressure to miniaturi- zation and lower power consumption for these transceivers imposes tight specifications on their analog RF parts. Many aspects of RF circuits cannot be simulated accu- rately and efficiently with a classical circuit-level SPICE approach. In this paper three important simulation prob- lems for RF circuits are addressed: 1. high-level simulation of analog and RF blocks for the determination of the specifications of the circuits 2. accurate circuit-level simulation of nonlinear circuits with time constants that differ largely, 3. efficient and accurate computation of phase noise in RF oscillators For each of these problems, solutions are proposed. These solutions illustrate that accurate and efficient simulations of RF communication circuits need a heterogeneous vari- ety of advanced algorithms. |
