E-Content and Tool Selection in the Cloud-based Online-CADCOM Platform for Computer-Aided Design in Communications

摘要

The paper deals with the Cloud-based version of the Online-CADCOM platform for assisting computer-aided design of communication circuits and systems. It illustrates the e-content included in the platform. The category of analog filters is selected for illustration of automated tool selection for a given specification. Multicriteria Decision Analysis is used for automated tool selection and it consists in Decision Matrix and MAUT model. Mandatory and desirable criteria for analog filter design are defined and weight coefficients are associated to them. A real-life filter design example is solved using this method.
