High level optimization of a MSK modulator with experience plans - application to DECT standard

In this work, we expose our approach to design and optimize mixed analog and digital systems at a high level description using VHDL-AMS. The studied system consists of a MSK modulator designed and optimized for a DECT standard application. The applied optimization method uses the ldquoexperience plansrdquo with five generics having in view to minimize the modulator response time. At this level, we can talk about virtual prototyping making possible the characterization of a designed system and the prediction of its performances before developing a transistor level description.
