Keysight EDA actively engages with component manufacturers to create model libraries that enable access to the latest models and technologies. There are numerous vendors providing libraries for Keysight SystemVue and RF System Explorer (RFSE) in ADS.

Component vendors use Keysight software, hardware, and expertise to develop models for use in electronic design automation (EDA) and system simulation tools. By assisting vendors in this process and using a web-based model delivery approach, Keysight EDA customers can augment their existing libraries with the latest available parts from the industry.

Additionally, Keysight EDA provides an easy-to-use Library Builder tool to vendors who would like to supply model libraries.

The models provided by the vendors listed below typically fall into one or more of these categories (availability varies by vendor):

  • S-parameters in industry-standard Touchstone (.snp) format
  • System-level/behavioral models compatible with SystemVue and/or RF System Explorer

Note: If you are a vendor and would like to be added to the following tables or extend your current libraries, please contact the Keysight EDA team.
