ADS Complete Desktop Flow Workshop

Why this Workshop is Important:
ADS 2011 introduces new, powerful, enterprise-level tools and capabilities that are now native to the ADS platform. These include new design management to more effectively manage designs, foundry PDKs, shared libraries as well as create multiple design views to more easily explore design alternatives. In addition, ADS has a dramatically improved and foundry supported layout verification and manufacturing flow, which saves time and expense associated with dedicated DRC and LVS tools. Finally, ADS’s Multi-layer, 3D planar Electromagnetic Simulator, Momentum, has new technology improvements and a streamlined simulation setup user interface making EM simulations faster and easier than ever.

In this in-depth hands-on workshop you will see and get first-hand experience with these new capabilities on dedicated workstations provided by Agilent, in addition to live demos and technology presentations from Agilent Application Experts.

Who Should Attend this Workshop:
RF and microwave engineers designing RF and microwave blocks like RF power amplifiers MMICs, switches, filters and RF modules currently.
