- Advanced Design System
Advanced Design System (ADS) is an
electronic design automation software system produced by Agilent EEsof EDA [ [http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/find/eesof Agilent EEsof EDA home page] ] , a unit ofAgilent Technologies . It provides an integrated design environment to designers of RF electronic products such asmobile phones [ [http://www.commsdesign.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=192200523 "Evaluating Performance Tradeoffs in a Dual-Mode, W-CDMA/EDGE Digital IF Receiver", "CommsDesign", Oct 07, 2002] ] , pagers,wireless networks ,satellite communications,radar systems, and high-speed serial links [ [http://www.agilent.com/find/signal-integrity Hurdle the gigabit per second barrier] ] .Agilent ADS supports every step of the design process --
schematic capture ,layout , frequency-domain and time-domain circuitsimulation , andelectromagnetic field simulation -- allowing the engineer to fully characterize and optimize an RF design without changing tools.Agilent EEsof has donated copies of the ADS software to the
electrical engineering departments at many universities, and a large percentage of new graduates are experienced in its use. As a result, the system has found wide acceptance in industry.References
