Bluetooth Design Tools

Welcome to our listing of RF and digital design tools, simulators and other tools.

Agilent	ADS Bluetooth DesignGuide assists Bluetooth developers with optimization and verification of Bluetooth RF system designs. The ready-to-use Bluetooth reference transceiver model with adjustable parameters comes as part of the DesignGuide.
Cadence	NC-Sim tool is a single kernel simulator that can verify both mixed-language and mixed-signal designs. The Advanced Analysis Environment provides HDL analysis and linting while Verifault provides accurate fault coverage. The IP model packager enables secure distribution of HDL intellectual property for system-on-a-chip design.
Elanix	SystemView design software, 3G Design Studio, application libraries.
Highland Systems	Bluetooth/802.11 Simulation Suite Bluetooth Simulation Model Suite (Suitetooth) is an open, modular framework for advanced network performance engineering. Built for the OPNET simulation environment, the high-fidelity, discrete-event Suitetooth models allow users to predict performance characteristics and study behavioral interaction for personal area network (PAN) applications that use both existing and emerging wireless technologies.
IBM	BlueHoc Bluetooth ad-hoc network simulator. BlueHoc is an open source Bluetooth technology simulator. It simulates the baseband and link layers of the Bluetooth specifications www.bluetooth.com . It is capable of simulating an ad-hoc environment with several Bluetooth devices operating in an indoor wireless channel. It provides an extension to the 'Network simulator (ns)' available from www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns. It uses the TCP/IP simulations of 'ns' to enable performance evaluation of TCP/IP based applications over Bluetooth. It also provides an insight into the performance of device discovery and paging protocols specified in the Bluetooth baseband specifications. It provides a platform for evaluating proposals for improving performance of Bluetooth based systems.
