Abstract
SIBA is inspired by the description style of an experienced designer. Signals for instance are not represented by a list of amplitude values over time or frequency, but as a symbolic description of their waveforms. SIBA describes both digital and analog signals. As usual in communication engineering, signals can be described in frequency domain as well as in time domain. In SIBA signals can be combined and manipulated by arithmetic operations or control structures to form new signals in nested description blocks. The user can define its own signals to form a hierarchical description. The application of SIBA motivated the development of special tools like ONSA, AUCA or the help system. Moreover the communication between the user and the language is supported by an ergonomics graphical user interface named CASSY-X. SIBA, the related tools and the user interface constitute a compound which is a powerful system for the description an generation of signals.
