Abstract

The complexity of communication and signal processing systems has grown considerably during the past two decades. During the same time, the emergence of a variety of new technologies such as fast and inexpensive hardware for digital signal processing, fiber optics, integrated optical devices, and monolithic microwave integrated circuits is beginning to have significant impact on the implementation of communication systems. While the growth in complexity of communication systems increases the time and effort required for analysis and design, the need to insert new technologies into commercial products quickly requires that the design be done in a timely, cost-effective and effort-free manner. These demands can be met only through the use of powerful computer-aided analysis and design tools.
