Baseband Equivalent Modelling Approach for Analog Linear Transfer Functions in Event-driven Simulations

This paper presents a novel approach for baseband equivalent modelling of linear transfer functions in an event-driven simulation environment. The filter model allows fast simulations of in-band frequency dependent effects in RF transceivers. Needed parameters are calculated during runtime and the filter model is therefore not fixed for one specific RF frequency. The modelling approach was implemented in a System Verilog/C++ environment. Influences of a bandpass in a low noise amplifier on the bit error rate of a 2.4 GHz receiver could be shown in a system simulations.
