Agilent EEsof EDA RF Board Design Flow - Unique Value

Agilent EEsof EDA tools help you to increase your overall RF and Wireless funtionality.

• ADS offers an unmatched set of wireless libraries. Using the various build-in wireless system test benches you can quickly verify your RF circuit design against the wireless standard specification.
• The system and circuit co-simulation enables you to simulate your digital, baseband and RF circuits together.
• ADS links to digital, analog and RF test equipment using the Connected Solutions.

Agilent EEsof EDA can help you reduce design spins through higher integration of different technologies and higher packaging density.

• The ADS platform is the most complete RF front to back design platform built to design and integrate different technologies like MMIC, SIP, MCM or a 3D stack on a RF board.
• ADS designers need far less design cycles and get better predictive simulations because 3D electromagnetic effects of the board are taken into account in your circuit and system design.
• Component vendors world wide distribute their simulation models in an ADS library format. In this way users have access to largest set of RF models with superior accuracy.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) starts at the beginning of the design phase where various design options are evaluated.

ADS makes DFM an integral part of your RF board flow by offering you the following options:

• Bi-directional interfaces to enterprise pcb tools from Cadence, Mentor and Zuken
• System budget simulation to quickly evaluate different system configurations
• A complete set of statistical analysis tools to analyze and optimize yield, sensitivity, Monte Carlo analysis and Design Of Experiments
• Standard and custom programmable DRC rules to ensure your board is compliant with your manufacturing rules
• LVS to ensure your layout matches your schematic
• Bullet proof export formats such as gerber, DXF, odb++
• Simulate 3D antenna design in the appliance closure with AMDS
