Agilent EEsof EDA Applications: Aerospace Defense

Designers of Aerospace Defense applications can use various tools in Advanced Design System (ADS) at both the circuit level and the system level. The variety of simulation technologies available in ADS enables designers to complete the design from concept to a final product with ease. With ADS, RF budgets such as noise budgets, gain budgets, and IP3 budgets can also be analyzed.

Additional design support is provided by a growing number of examples, training classes, and by Agilent EEsof EDA technical support.
