ARC SmartSim is a hardware radio channel simulator.

It provides full benefit of real-time simulations by the means of state-of-the-art DSP Boards, performing up to 10 GIPS. You can easily do sophisticated testing with the highest degree of accuracy and control, e.g. testing chipsets in mobile phones or other propagation tests with realistic models.

ARC SmartSim is designed for MIMO systems.

It offers up to eight independent channels with virtual scattering. This simulator is a powerful tool when it comes to testing beamforming algorithms for smart antennas, antenna arrays or even sophisticated investigations in a laboratory environment. All current mobile standards are supported, such as GSM, EDGE, UMTS, and WLAN.

ARC SmartSim is vital in channel testing.

Suitable for repeating simulations with similar scenarios, it brings well defined field tests onto your desktop. It implements a channel model based on COST 259, and depicts a real-time GSCM. There is no comparable model currently available on the market.

ARC SmartSim has a intuitive and user-friendly GUI.

A wide functional range and different possibilities to display data can be controlled throught the user interface. Impulse responses can be plotted in 3D at any desired instant during the simulation.
