COEDS (Communications Engineering Design System) Workstation Selection Recommendation.

Abstract

This report proposes a set of requirements for the communications engineering design system (COEDS) to be used for the evaluation of contending equipment. These requirements encompass a wide range of considerations to ensure a useful and cost effective recommendation throughout the lifecycle of the COEDS project. Characteristics of currently available systems are evaluated and a recommendati on is made for the COEDS design station. The goal of the COEDS program is to place an integrated set of software tools in the hands of an experienced engineer to increase his effectiveness in completing shipboard RF communication systems design. These tools are to be available to the engineer on a personal workstation. Providing the engineer with extensive computational resources for his/her exculsive use is perceived to be a crucial element in the effectiveness of the COEDS project. These local resources will provide three major advantages for the user: 1) Decrease the system response time; 2) Improve the user-program interaction; and 3) Provide graphic displays of input and output information that are not feasible in batch or time-shared environments.
