Advanced Design System (ADS) is an electronic design automation software system produced by PathWave Design, a division of Keysight Technologies.[1] It provides an integrated design environment to designers of RF electronic products such as mobile phones,[2] pagers, wireless networks, satellite communications, radar systems, and high-speed data links.[3]
Data helps teams visualize whether their designs meet specifications. The data display and analytics capabilities in PathWave ADS produce graphs, charts, and diagrams to give you design confidence. Quickly accelerate your design with wizards, design guides, and templates. The complete design flow includes schematic, layout, circuit, electro-thermal, and electromagnetic simulations.
Signal and power integrity are becoming more important as frequency and speed increase in printed circuit boards (PCBs). Losses associated with transmission line effects can cause failures in electronic devices. Modeling traces, vias, and interconnects are necessary to simulate the board accurately. Improve high-speed link performance in PCB designs with integrated circuit design and electromagnetic simulators customized for power and signal integrity analysis.
Power supplies, solar inverters, and electric vehicles are driving the need for more efficiency in power device designs. The technology that enables an increase in efficiency is wide-bandgap materials such as Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride. Model modern materials and switch-mode power supplies to optimize power device designs for maximum efficiency.
PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) design elements provide additional capabilities to the W3600B PathWave ADS Core + EM Design Core bundle, enabling designers to customize the configuration of ADS to suit their design needs. Elements are comprised of distinct design and simulation functions, grouped together into very powerful and cost effective packages. They provide an affordable and flexible way to expand your design and simulation capabilities by using them together with an existing PathWave ADS configuration or any PathWave ADS Bundle. Additional Elements can be added to an existing bundle to extend the design and development capabilities.
If you have fully upgraded to ADS 2012/13 or ADS 2015, you do not need to download this hotfix. But if you would like access to both ADS 2015.01 and ADS 2009 Update 1 concurrently, or you require long term access to legacy ADS 2009 Update 1 designs, we recommend you to download and install the hotfix.
ADS (Advanced Design System) from Keysight is an electronic design automation software for RF, microwave, and high speed digital applications. It uses some of the most innovative and commercially successful technologies, including Harmonic Balance, Circuit Envelope, Transient Convolution, Keysight Ptolemy, X-parameter, Momentum and 3D EM simulators (including both FEM and FDTD solvers).
ADS provides full, standards-based design and verification with Wireless Libraries and circuit-system-EM co-simulation in an integrated platform for WiMAX, LTE, multi-gigabit per second data links, radar, & satellite applications. ADS combines schematic, layout, circuit, electro-thermal co-simulation and three full-wave 3D EM technologies for IC, package, laminate/PCB and 3D EM component co-design in a single-vendor, integrated platform solution.
