Eagleware Changes Its Name to Eagleware-Elanix, Announces Release of SystemView By Elanix 2005; Wireless UWB Libraries for Communications System Design Are Added

Posted on: Wednesday, 12 January 2005, 09:00 CST

Eagleware Corporation, a leading supplier of high-frequency system design software for the RF and microwave industry, announced today that the company name has changed to Eagleware-Elanix Corporation to reflect Eagleware's recent acquisition (announced December 16) of Elanix, Inc., an electronic-system level (ESL) design tool provider. In addition, the company announced a new version of SystemView, SystemView by Elanix(R) 2005, with library support for the emerging Ultra-Wideband (UWB) IEEE standards.

"We changed our name to emphasize the strengths of our combined companies," said Eagleware-Elanix CEO, Todd Cutler. "Our new version of SystemView addresses our goal to expand our customers' design options for improving power, speed and accuracy with design software that models the behavior and performance of new communications standards."

New Version Supports Ultra-Wideband System Design

SystemView 2005 supports both candidate standards for Ultra-Wideband communications -- Multi-band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) and Direct Sequence Ultra-Wideband (DS-UWB). With the new libraries, SystemView users can build the physical layer from transmit to receive with channel model interference. Support for Common Signaling Mode (CSM) is integrated within the libraries, as well as support for the standard preambles. Developers can design either MB-OFDM or DS-UWB or evaluate both standards within a single system.

Frank Vincze, Systems Design Product Manager at Eagleware-Elanix, remarked, "UWB design is one of the fastest growing application areas in our customer base. These new UWB libraries are being added in response to overwhelming customer demand. By supporting both of the candidate standards, we are helping our customers protect their design investments, regardless of the eventual selection."

Soumya Nag, Principal UWB Systems Engineer at Pulse~LINK Inc. in Carlsbad, CA said, "I find SystemView to be a robust, computationally very efficient and versatile communication systems performance analysis platform. The simulation platform, using the tokens, is easy to set up and is laid out in the form of block diagrams that provide the information at the system level. In a nutshell, I have been having a lot of fun working with the SystemView software."

Vincze added, "The SystemView 2005 release also includes enhancements to the product licensing structure to make it compatible with the Eagleware-Elanix GENESYS(TM) licensing scheme, which is easier to use. The enhancements will greatly benefit the many customers who use both SystemView and GENESYS. This is the first step toward a full integration of the Eagleware-Elanix product line." Eagleware-Elanix will host a webinar outlining the product integration roadmap on Tuesday, January 18, 2005. Interested attendees may register at www.eagleware.com/signup.

About the Wireless Ultra-Wideband Standard

UWB technology brings the convenience and mobility of wireless communications to high-speed interconnects in devices throughout the digital home and office. Designed for short-range, wireless personal area networks (WPANs), UWB is the leading technology for freeing people from wires, enabling wireless connection of multiple devices for transmission of video, audio and other high-bandwidth data. It allows for data relays from devices in the immediate area (up to 30 feet). It also complements other longer-range radio technologies such as WiFi, WiMAX, and cellular wide-area communications. For more technical information on UWB, see the proposals for the IEEE 802.15 Task Group at http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/. Information on the candidate standards is available at http://www.uwbforum.org/ and http://www.multibandofdm.org/.
