EMPro Evaluation Resources

Thank you for your interest in Electromagnetic Professional (EMPro), a full 3D electromagnetic simulation environment, including time and frequency domain simulators, and integrated with Advanced Design System (ADS).

To help you begin your evaluation, we’ve provided links to videos, tutorials and documentation below. Note that some of this material is located on the Keysight EDA Knowledge Center and requires a login.

Key EMPro Resources

• Getting Started with EMPro – a collection of resources to start learning about EMPro, including some of links below
• EMPro Getting Started Video Tutorials – 9 short videos covering the basics of 3D drawing, simulation setup and analysis
• EMPro Workshop Material – slides and EMPro project files used in live hands-on workshop events
• EM Applications Center – covering a wide range of EM applications; includes summary descriptions and download-able project files
• EMPro Documentation – online reference for the latest EMPro release
