Product Information
Advanced Design System (ADS) is the industry leader in high-frequency design. It supports system and RF design engineers developing all types of RF designs, from simple to the most complex, from RF/microwave modules to integrated MMICs for communications and aerospace/defense applications.
With a complete set of simulation technologies ranging from frequency- and time-domain circuit simulation to electromagnetic field simulation, ADS lets designers fully characterize and optimize designs. The single, integrated design environment provides system and circuit simulators, along with schematic capture, layout, and verification capability - eliminating the stops and starts associated with changing design tools in mid-cycle.

Customer Education
Advanced Design System Fundamentals
This is a medium-paced three-day detailed introduction to the application of Advanced Design System (ADS) for communication systems and circuit designs.
This course instructs designers on schematic capture, the proper application of a wide variety of simulators, and the display and manipulation of results.
After a brief study of ADS basic operation, students design and test amplifier and filter circuits that are then placed in a down-converting receiver system for final simulation. Real-world examples are used at all times so that designers can return to their jobs ready to apply ADS effectively to their design challenges.
Advanced Topics in Circuit Design
This is a medium-paced two-day course that shows some of the more expert features of Agilent EEsof EDA's Advanced Design System.
This course instructs designers on the proper application of advanced simulation methods found in ADS, use of measured data in ADS simulations, and the modeling of devices used in common design schematics.
Some of the advanced simulation methods used in the course are transient-assisted harmonic balance, yield optimization, oscillator analysis, design of experiments (DOE), and sensitivity analysis. Very realistic circuits are used in this course, such as those found in cellular phones or radio receiver sections. At the end of this course, the designer should be very comfortable with using ADS and understand how to implement the more advanced simulation methods on their own designs.
