ADS for RF and Microwave

ADS revolutionizes RFIC, monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), and RF module design for 5G wireless, aerospace / defense, automotive, and IoT applications by seamlessly integrating EM with circuit simulation. The RFPro engine is the industry’s first EM simulation platform for RF/ microwave circuit designs. Seamlessly integrated with ADS, RFPro makes performing EM analysis as easy as running circuit simulations. With multiple libraries, bundles, design guides, and simulation elements, ADS is the one RF EDA software tool to help you overcome any design challenge.

ADS for High-Speed Digital

ADS for signal integrity and power integrity handles the challenges of today’s high-data-rate, densely routed, complex PCB designs. ADS Memory Designer minimizes the engineering effort required to set up and extract EM models, simulate buses, and perform compliance testing.

ADS for Power Electronics

The Power Electronics Library in ADS contains components built for power electronics, including those for closed-loop feedback regulation of a switched-mode power supply (SMPS). The library provides everything power electronics designers need for a complete, self-contained chip, package, and board design workflow. Users can simulate a virtual prototype in ADS in both time and frequency domains. Adding the Power Electronics Professional (PEPro) component completes the application suite. PEPro makes performing EM analysis as easy as running circuit simulations, with predictive expert settings that used to require configuration by dedicated EM simulation experts.

Debunking Circuit Design Myths

How accurate is conventional PCB wisdom? What happens when we force designs into corner cases? How does a 50 Ω controlled impedance path change when you dip it in liquid nitrogen?

This course compares real-world board measurements against simulations and digs into concepts every electrical engineer needs to know — including return current paths, via stubs, and VNA tips.
