Advanced Design System (ADS) is an
Keysight ADS supports every step of the design process — schematic capture, layout, design rule checking, frequency-domain and time-domain circuit simulation, and electromagnetic field simulation — allowing the engineer to fully characterize and optimize an RF design without changing tools.
Keysight has donated copies of the ADS software to the electrical engineering departments at many universities.[4]
