There is no conventional method for precisely estimating under what external conditions each partial circuit, such as a library cell, is utilized in an actual integrated circuit at the time of designing the partial circuit. Therefore, by estimating the external conditions of a partial circuit when used in an integrated circuit so that the partial circuit is designed in accordance with the external conditions, the partial circuit having optimal performance for the external conditions can be designed. The step of external condition estimation can be formed so as to include the technology conversion step which technologically converts the layout for external condition extraction, that is prepared in advance, based on the technology information of an integrated circuit, which is the design objective; the layout extraction step of extracting layout extraction information which is external information influencing the operation of the partial circuit from the layout for external condition extraction that has been technologically converted; and the external condition calculation step of calculating external conditions of the partial circuit from the layout extraction information. In addition, by simply replacing the designed partial circuit with a partial circuit of a circuit for evaluation, the evaluation of the designed partial circuit can be easily carried out.

Techniques for measuring signal quality in a communications link supporting OFDM symbol transfer across plural sub-carriers are disclosed. These techniques employ a link interface receiving OFDM symbol(s) from the link, and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation unit generating an estimate of a geometric SNR (SNRgeo) for the received symbols based on an average of the logrithmic difference between soft decision and hard decisions for the received symbol. SNRgeo here defines a scalar measure of the link signal quality, which results in a computationally efficient yet accurate link signal quality assessment, and thereby permit selective link characteristic alteration. Only sub-carrier subsets need be used to derive a relatively an accurate SNRgeo estimate. Sharing calculation resources between SNR estimation and soft decision units further reduce implementation complexity. Hard decision generation may use a relatively quick slicer or more accurate viterbi decoder / OFDM re-coder combination, as design goals dictate.
