ADS Element Overview

Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS) now offers powerful design Elements, which provide additional capabilities to the new W2200 ADS Core environment, allowing designers to customize the configuration of ADS to suit their design needs.

Elements are comprised of distinct design and simulation functions, grouped together into very powerful and cost effective packages. Elements provide an affordable and flexible way to expand your design and simulation capabilities by using them together with an existing ADS configuration or any ADS Bundle.

Additional Elements can be added to an existing bundle to extend the design and development capabilities.

Note: All Elements require W2200 ADS Core and other elements as required.
