ELECTRONICS TESTING: DESIGN
❱❱ RFPro displays electromagnetic meshes in a multi-technology RF module with geometries ranging from microns to centimeters
Simulation software for microwave designers
K
eysight Technologies has introduced the PathWave ADS (advanced design system) 2023 integrated design and simulation
software that rapidly addresses increasing design complexity and higher frequencies in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave industry. PathWave ADS 2023 includes enhancements to electromagnetic (EM) simulation and also streamlines 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, companies can shorten time-to-market, improve engineering team productivity and deliver competitive designs. “PathWave ADS 2023 directly addresses the needs of customers developing multi-

Electronic design and simulation software for radio frequency and microwave designers addresses increased product complexity
technology, high-speed, high-frequency designs,” says Joe Civello, director of RF and microwave simulation at Keysight. “This software 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 Simulation performance enhancements in RFPro, the interactive EM simulator integrated with PathWave ADS, enable
rapid design tuning and optimisation. New RFPro features include the automation of EM-circuit co-simulation set-up, which ensures that analysis is easily accessible by circuit designers without the help of an EM expert or the need for invasive layout editing.
It also has advanced EM solvers and meshing technologies, which are accessible via a single unified environment with parallel simulation acceleration through cloud-based, high-performance computing that supports fast, high-capacity simulation. The software seamlessly integrates with Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler and Ansys HFSS.
RF AND MICROWAVE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT PathWave ADS 2023 development environment enhancements include the automation of 3D multi-technology assembly (SmartMount) for routing and verification of densely integrated RF
