This project is dedicated to establish procedures in modelling for electromagnetic compatibility as well as high-level modelling for wireless communication and EMC. It consists of three work packages. Part 1 contains the modelling of EMC for near field communication (NFC) in the automotive domain, making use of 3D simulation and circuit simulation. Part 2 deals with functional modelling using the standardized SystemC language (IEEE 1666) for a top-down concept- and verification methodology and also investigates in extending the model using SystemC-AMS (IEEE 1666.1). Also a “shift left” approach - to start software development and test early using virtual prototypes - is addressed in this part, as well as extending the model for e.g. abstract Monte-Carlo simulations of a radio-frequency (RF) signal chain. In Part 3, the feasibility and also usability of such a high-level, functional modelling approach will be extended to wireless systems incl. EMC modelling for an NXP ultra-wide-band (UWB) transceiver product, instead of a classical Verilog WREAL model. It includes a complete end-to-end (E2E) path of transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) with a wireless channel in between (as functional IEEE 1666/1666.1 model) and simulates EMC events (“disturbers”) in the channel. It is a cooperative project between NXP Semiconductors Austria GmbH and Co KG, Silicon Austria Labs GmbH and Carinthia University of Applied Sciences.
