Abstract

The MIMIC (microwave and millimeter wave integrated circuit) Hardware Description Language (MHDL), intended for use in describing microwave and analog hardware, is discussed. The authors describe how MHDL addresses the key issues of: (1) the representation of hardware hierarchical structure and support for multiple views and alternatives, (2) signal representation, including a mathematically rigorous signal concept that allows a variety of signal formats such as time-based and frequency-based signals; (3) general capabilities for describing device behavior at multiple levels of abstraction; (4) compatibility with VHSIC (very-high-speed integrated circuit) Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and support for mixed-mode simulation of hybrid circuits; and (5) support for concurrent engineering and performance modeling in the development of microwave systems. >
