PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) Configuration

PathWave ADS Bundled Software

PathWave ADS Software Bundles provide designers with a choice of value-packed, pre-configured combinations of software built for specific design workflows. These combinations can provide up to four different simulation technologies, system, circuit, electro-thermal and electromagnetic (EM), for communication system, GaAs MMIC, RFIC, RF system-in-package (SiP), RF board and signal integrity designers.

PathWave ADS bundles are comprised of the W3600B PathWave ADS Core + EM Design (EMPro) Core environment and add separate PathWave ADS Simulation Elements, each of which provide specific design and simulation capabilities.

Simulation elements are themselves comprised of one or more separate modules,which add additional design and development functions. These modules, which were formerly sold separately, are now grouped together into very efficient and effective combinations.

Configure Your New Software

This step-by-step process will help you configure your new PathWave ADS software when making your initial order.

Base bundles

A powerful PathWave ADS bundle on its own, the W3600B base bundle is the foundation for all other PathWave ADS bundles. Choosing the W3601B base bundle adds layout design capability.

Note: EM Design provides the PathWave EM Design (EMPro) drawing environment, which enables drawing, manipulating and importing/exporting 3D designs.

RF & microwave bundles

Built for RF & microwave design including system, circuit, EM, GaAs MMIC, silicon RFIC, RF SiP/module, and/or RF board design applications.

Power electronics bundle

Built for power converter design for power generation and transmission, aerospace-defense, automotive, data center, consumer electronics, and IoT applications.

Electromagnetic design environment bundle

Electromagnetic design core is a 3D solid modeling environment for creating arbitrary 3D objects and importing existing models from other CAD environments. The W4300B PathWave EM Design (EMPro)

Core is a standalone 3D EM design platform. The PathWave EM Design Core is also included in all PathWave ADS bundles and requires a separate EM simulator (e.g. FEM or FDTD) to run EM simulations.
