Abstract

In this paper, an advanced co-simulation approach to computer-aided design radio-frequency photonics-based electronics devices and systems is proposed. After studying the common co-simulation principles and software capabilities, the proposed workflow is implemented to solve the issue of modeling an optoelectronic processor for radio signals jamming. To confirm the feasibility and advantages of the proposed concept, a co-simulation proof-of-concept experiment is carried out. The proposed computer toolbox allowing for electronics and photonics circuitry co-simulation is particularly feasible for overcoming photonics-based system design challenges in radar, electronic warfare and communications applications.
