Capabilities
Phiphase specialise in system architecture design, system analysis, FPGA/ASIC hardware design and
software design.
Analysis and Simulation
We use MATLAB for most of our analysis and simulation work.
Architecture Design
We have developed our own bespoke Visio Stencil designed for communications system and electronics
architecture design.
VHDL Simulation
For FPGA hardware simulation (verification) in VHDL, we use ModelSim PE. We are familiar with all the
major FPGA vendors’ tool flows, Xilinx ISE, Altera Quartus and Microsemi Libero.
Algorithm Development, Validation and Verification
It is vital that an algorithm can be developed as a concept validation to prove the algorithm works and
provides the required performance. Using MATLAB or sometimes a C/C++ model (or both) we can convert
the “full precision” simulation model to “finite precision”, targetted towards implementation in a DSP or
FPGA. We then re-validate the algorithm’s performance with finite precision. The same model can then be
used to generate test vectors for the FPGA or DSP verification loop. We also use hardware-in-the-loop to
speed up some verification where a development board or breadboard is used to execute the algorithms
in real time.
Development Models
Though specialising in DSP and digital electronics implementation, we can develop “breadboard”
Development Models usually in close collaboration with our clients. We tend to use off-the-shelf
evaluation boards for RF and digital electronics and other RF modules to provide a complete RF-to-digits
evaluation platform.
Coding Standards and Documentation
Phiphase specialise in developing high-reliability, robust designs specifically designed to withstand the
rigours of the space environment in terms of radiation susceptibility, thermal cycling and product
assurance requirements. We adhere to well established coding standards and documentation is
produced to the high standards demanded by the space industry.
Revision Control and CADM
We use Mercurial repositories to provide revision control of our source code an documents, backed up to
external drives. We normally adopt the CADM processes and procedures of our clients.
