Agilent Technologies Ships Latest Advanced Design System Platform for RF and Microwave Design and Simulation
Communiqué de presse de AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES 
Software Supported by Foundry and Component Vendors Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced shipment of the latest release of its flagship RF and microwave design and simulation platform, Advanced Design System 2011.
As the industry’s most comprehensive multi-technology design platform,
ADS 2011 represents a significant breakthrough in electronic design
automation. Agilent
also announced that its work with GaAs/GaN and RF SiGe/BiCMOS/CMOS
foundries and relevant SMD component vendors has resulted in their
support for ADS 2011. During the past six months, the majority of
existing ADS process design kits and libraries have been upgraded and
verified on early access releases. These upgraded kits and libraries
will be made publicly available to foundry and component vendor
customers in the coming days, enabling them to take advantage of new
capabilities in ADS 2011. The
new kits work seamlessly with ADS 2011.01, as well as ADS 2009 Update 1
and prior ADS releases. As a result, users need only download and
install the desired kit, independent of which ADS release they are
using. Requests for specific kits should be directed to the appropriate
component vendor or foundry. About ADS 2011 ADS
2011 provides engineers with a multi-technology design environment for
designing individual RF and microwave integrated circuits with different
technologies (e.g., GaAs, SiGe, GaN, and Silicon CMOS). It features
electromagnetic technologies for faster, more accurate simulations; a
use model that makes electromagnetic simulation easy for all engineers;
layout improvements for easier physical design; and dozens of
improvements designed to enhance the platform’s functionality and
usability. With ADS 2011, design verification no longer needs to stop at
the boundary of a single integrated circuit’s or module’s technology.
