TestWave™

TestWave™ software integrates test and measurement (T&M) equipment with simulation software for communication systems and radio frequency (RF)/microwave circuits. Together with the Microwave Office® and Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) simulation software, TestWave provides wireless system and RF/microwave circuit designers a complete integration of the design process, combining schematic simulation, test signal generation, and test and measurement verification. This capability enables designers to perform computer trade-off studies with "hardware-in-the-loop". Accessing these two previously disjointed phases of the development process from the same environment saves time.

AWR's TestWave software integrates test and measurement equipment with both VSS and Microwave Office simulators over RS-232, GPIB, or LAN. It is tightly integrated into the AWR design environment, including an icon in the project hierarchy. Its user interface allows for a simple, efficient means to import signals and manage data.
