Abstract

The Block-Oriented System Simulator (BOSS), an operating system that provides an interactive environment for simulation-based analysis and design of radiofrequency and optical communication systems, has been developed. BOSS facilitates a hierarchical block diagram approach to the system by first defining a detailed component module which is used in turn to define subsystem and larger system models. The simulation can be executed in Monte Carlo fashion or in some cases using a processing-efficient semianalytic model. Simulation results can be displayed as time waveforms, frequency domain spectra, eye diagrams, or BER plots. A consistent user interface utilizing interactive graphics allows the modules to be easily reconfigured for analyzing design alternatives or defining a new system.
