What do you like best about Keysight ADS?

Simple interface, best tool to learn the design of RF circuits. There were many inbuilt test benches are available which will help in the design of circuits like power amplifiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keysight ADS?

Each and every time we need to select the type of simulator and we need to define the measurement equations, especially parameters of PA like PAE, drain efficiency and gain, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keysight ADS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Design of power amplifier circuits, circuit simulation, and EM simulation. Also verifying its performance by applying modulated signals and measuring the parameters like ACLR, EVM, and IMD, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Keysight ADS?

Its easy integration with other electromagnetic simulators, comprehensive component libraries and capabilities of co-simulation in other platforms, including Hardware Description Language (VHDL & Verilog). It is a unique tool both for analysis and synthesis, specially for RF and Microwave designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keysight ADS?

HDL co-simulation restricted to ModelSim; and Verilog XL no longer supported since 2014. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keysight ADS:

I would recommend having a minimum (basic) knowledge of programming C. C++, VHDL, MatLab, Simulink and LabView (G-programming). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keysight ADS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am doing research on clean renewable sources of energy, specially marine electrostatic energy conversion, where I am interested in process modeling within a plasma, with equivalent electrodynamic and electronic components, and control of processes by integration of hardware and software, all of which requires, if possible, a robust software with a maximum capability of simulation, co-simulation and integration of analog, digital and control systems.

What do you like best about Keysight ADS?

It has too many features, from implementing a design using layout to Smith-chart plots, it had everything required in one EDA Tool itself. I attended a workshop by Keysight where they gave a session on ADS. I also designed a directional coupler, microstrip LPF using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keysight ADS?

It is not very user-friendly for beginners. If you don't know RF/Microwave, then you can not directly use this advanced software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keysight ADS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Keysight ADS during my college days. I used it in one of my projects which was the design and implementation of the directional coupler and microstrip LPF. Keysight ADS is so good that I completed the entire development phase in the same EDA tool itself and got the final Gerber file for fabrication using CNC machines.

What do you like best about Keysight ADS?

I really like the way ADS have Schematic as well as EM simulation which is far better than any other softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keysight ADS?

Not much but i want to see some complex 3D structures like horn antennas to be simulated by this software in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keysight ADS:

Totally recommended to all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keysight ADS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving all problems related to RF Microwave domain. The benefits which i have realised while using this software is the Accuracy of simulated components when we fabricate it. It gives almost those results which we have simulated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
