Method and system for correlation of a behavioral model to a circuit realization for a communications system

Abstract:

A method relates generally to comparison of a communications system modelled with a behavioral model and implemented with a circuit realization. In this method, operation of the communications system is simulated with the behavioral model on a computing device to obtain a first pulse response. The simulating includes first equalizing first data with a first equalizer of the behavioral model to obtain the first pulse response. The circuit realization is operated to obtain a second pulse response. The operating includes: second equalizing second data corresponding to the first data with a second equalizer of the circuit realization to obtain the second pulse response. The second pulse response from the circuit realization is loaded to memory of the computing device. The first pulse is loaded to the memory of the computing device. The first pulse response and the second pulse response are compared with one another by the computing device.
