Why Use RF Synthesis (Genesys)
Accelerate RF design tasks from hours to minutes with automatic RF circuit synthesis.
Genesys is an affordable, accurate and easy-to-use RF-microwave circuit synthesis and simulation electronic design automation (EDA) tool for RF circuit and subsystem designer. It features the industry’s widest coverage of RF circuit synthesis capabilities with 12 synthesis modules to instantly create passive, active, lumped and distributed RF/microwave circuits based on your input specs. It is therefore an ideal design productivity companion to quickly synthesize RF subcircuits such as microstrip or lumped matching networks and filters for a bigger design in Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS). It also includes circuit, 3D planar electromagnetic,RF subsystem and statistical simulators to analyze performance and yield, thus reducing wasteful hardware rework downstream. A unique vendor parts synthesis (VPS) capability automatically picks the nearest RLC discrete purchasable vendor parts values for lumped circuits, which saves tedious and error-prone manual replacements.
Key Capabilities

Resources to Get You Started
Identify RF system lineup design errors missed by traditional spreadsheet calculations. With Genesys affordable, accurate and easy-to-use design environment — including circuit, system, and electromagnetic simulators — you will gain confidence in your design reviews before hardware realization. Just a few mouse clicks and you can watch as your matching network or filter is synthesized and optimized automatically. Then, replicate the design to Keysight's Advanced Design System (ADS) for inclusion into a more complex design.
