Keysight Technologies, a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world has introduced the new PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) 2023, an integrated design and simulation software that rapidly addresses increasing design complexity and higher frequencies in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave industry.

Keysight's PathWave ADS 2023 includes enhancements to electromagnetic (EM) simulation for circuit designers. It also streamlines the integration of multi-technology circuit assembly and simulation into enterprise electronic design automation (EDA) design workflows. PathWave ADS 2023 enables RF and Microwave product development teams to easily address signal complexity, design densification, multi-technology integration, and frequencies moving to 60GHz and beyond. As a result, customers can shorten time-to-market, improve engineering team productivity and deliver competitive design wins.

"PathWave ADS 2023 directly addresses the needs of customers developing multi-technology high speed, high-frequency designs," said Joe Civello, director of RF and Microwave Simulation at Keysight. "This new solution offers workflow and simulation performance improvements that accelerate the design and simulation process while delivering the analysis results necessary to ensure designs meet critical electrical and thermal performance requirements."

RFPro Electromagnetic Simulation for Circuit Designers

Simulation performance enhancements in RFPro, the interactive EM simulator integrated with PathWave ADS, enable rapid design tuning and optimization. New RFPro features include:

• Automation of EM-circuit co-simulation setup ensures that analysis is easily accessible by circuit designers without the help of an EM expert or the need for invasive layout editing.

• Advanced EM solvers and meshing technologies are accessible via a single unified environment with parallelized simulation acceleration through cloud-based, high-performance computing (HPC) that supports fast, high-capacity simulation.

• Seamless integration with Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler, and Ansys HFSS facilitates enterprise electronic design automation signoff workflows.
