A linear FM signal source in the Radar library is used for modeling the FMCW
signal. In this application case we set the PRI=PuleWidth, then the
continous FM signal is archived. The FMCW environment model is used for
the Radar channel. Then we use the target velocity estimator to estimate
the velocity and the target delay estimator to estimate the range. Waveform

C++ Code Generation Examples


Starting with Agilent SystemVue 2010.01, C++ Code Generation from block level
schematic models is now supported. All SystemVue product configurations are enabled to
generate licensed and compiled dynamically linked libraries for use in Agilent ADS, Agilent
SystemVue, or any Win32 progra. Using W1718 C++ Code Generator will allow
SystemVue to generate C++ source code along with compiled .dlls. There is a new library
category under the "Algorithm Library" that contains all supported code gen-able models.
