“…In (E. Normark & Nikitin, n.d.) RF blocks of a DQPSK transceiver and a channel model were implemented adding white Gaussian noise and achieving results very close to theoretical models. A methodology for the design of RF circuits in VHDL-AMS starting from flexible specifications and assuring an accurate description of noise and nonlinear effects was proposed in (W. Yang & Yan, 2005). In (Godambe & Shi, 1998) the real behavior of a PLL was modeled using VHDL-AMS adding jitter: the phase noise simulated spectrum was in good agreement with measured results.…”

“…It is worth noting that currently, very limited work has been dedicated to researching this subject. For example, some efforts have been made to develop generic design methodologies for LNAs, mixers [14] and low-pass filters [15]. However, these attempts are not sufficiently generic to enable full abstraction of these basic RF functionalities.…”

Current wireless systems provide several services with reliability and functionality not envisioned some decades ago. However, they use mostly OEM equipment that is hardly reconfigurable or portable between platforms/networks. This creates an obstacle to realizing true open wireless architecture (OWA) systems where the end-user is able to mix and match building blocks based cost, performance or either user-specific criteria. In this paper, we present a review of the technological trends driving the development of OWA and we discuss the stateof-the-art of enabling technologies currently available in both baseband and RF sides that can quicken the OWAs' development and widespread acceptance. We also propose a generic top-down design framework based on a hardware abstraction strategy for the design of OWA-compliant RF front-ends. This new framework aims to bridge the gap between the baseband and RF design environments.

“…The primary use of AMS languages is to rapidly include a new physical/analog component or circuit into some form of a SPICE model [54,55]. The AMS model tends to be to for transistor models (e.g., MOS EKV v2.6 [56]), for simple circuit components (e.g., [57] ), for specific abstracted linear system modeling (e.g., [58]), or for high level electrical models of mechanical systems to interface into electrical devices [59]. AMS is primarily a way to add devices into the Cadence analog simulation capabilities.…”

This paper shows the first step in analog (and mixed signal) abstraction utilized in large-scale Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAA), encoded in the open-source SciLab/Xcos based toolset. Having any opportunity of a wide-scale utilization of ultra-low power technology both requires programmability/reconfigurability as well as abstractable tools. Abstraction is essential both make systems rapidly, as well as reduce the barrier for a number of users to use ultra-low power physical computing techniques. Analog devices, circuits, and systems are abstractable and retain their energy efficient opportunities compared with custom digital hardware. We will present the analog (and mixed signal) abstraction developed for the open-source toolkit used for the SoC FPAAs. Abstraction of Blocks in the FPAA block library makes the SoC FPAA ecosystem accessible to system-level designers while still enabling circuit designers the freedom to build at a low level. Multiple working test cases of various levels of complexity illustrate the analog abstraction capability. The FPAA block library provides a starting point for discussing the fundamental block concepts of analog computational approaches.
