Agilent | N3211A: Advanced Design System Fundamentals

3 Days · Lecture and Lab · Where & When · Advantages of Agilent Training

Audience: Technical staff who work in either the circuit or system level design environment and want a comprehensive overview of the Advanced Design System software.

Agilent Technologies offers a medium paced, 3-day, detailed introduction to the application of Advanced Design System 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 afterward placed in a down-converting receiver system for final simulation. Real-world examples are employed so that designers can return to their jobs ready to effectively apply ADS to their design challenges. Learn through a combination of lecture and hands-on exercises.
