The subject of this Master's thesis is the design of a new plug-in unit TRCO-S that is based on the Nokia Telecommunications Ltd existing plug-in unit TRCO. This is a new unit which is installed in cartridge TCSM2 (Transcoder-Submultiplexer of 2"' generation) that can he integrated into a DX200 network element or DAXnode WLL equipment element.

In this thesis, different blocks of the plug-in unit and design process are described. The subject of the Master's thesis is mostly the specification and simulation of the unit.

In the simulation of the plug-in unit, attention was paid to the possibility of automatic simulation by using the bus functional processor model and bus stimuli. Processor behaviour was described using Iugic Modeling PCL language and bus stimulus was created using Mentor Graphics AMPLE language. The design blocks were simulated separately by TRCO-S plug-in unit simulation menu, which were made by AMPLF, language as well.
