Keysight Technologies to Demonstrate Latest EDA Software at CSICS
October 8, 2015 | Keysight Technologies, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Highlights:
- Product improvements solve critical EDA design challenges
- Usability and design flow integration increase EDA design productivity
Keysight Technologies, Inc. today announced it will demonstrate its latest RF circuit, system and 3-D electromagnetic design and electro-thermal simulation software solutions at the Compound Semiconductor IC Symposium (CSICS 2015), Sheraton New Orleans, Booth 601, New Orleans, Oct. 11-14. Keysight EEsof EDA is a silver-level sponsor of the event.
Specific software demonstrations from Keysight EDA’s technical experts and application engineers will include:
- Advanced Design System, including the Electro-Thermal Simulator, Doherty and envelope tracking applications, and GaAs, GaN, Silicon RFIC, and multi-technology RF module design capabilities.
- EMPro with 3-D electromagnetic components and unparalleled integration with ADS. EMPro provides time- and frequency-domain simulation technologies allowing it to handle a broad range of RF, microwave and high-speed digital applications.
- Modeling and characterization of CMOS and III-V devices for cutting-edge logic, AMS and RF technologies using an end-to-end platform that provides an open, user-programmable environment with built-in, turn-key solutions for wafer-level automated measurement and modeling of semiconductor devices.
On Oct. 14, Keysight’s principal engineer, Rick Poore, will participate on a panel titled, Multi-Physics Simulation: Heavenly Accuracy or Convergence Hell?
The symposium brings together industry experts from around the world to discuss and present the latest results in GaAs IC technology and monolithic microwave integrated circuit design as well as GaN, InP, SiGe, nanoscale CMOS, and other emerging technologies. CSICS offers the ideal forum for discussing state-of-the-art IC performance, innovative design techniques and advanced device technologies. No other event presents GaN HPAs, InP THz PAs, 100 Gb/s CMOS/SiGe transceivers, GaN HEMT power devices, and advances in compact modeling alongside one another.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
Cadence Unveils Millennium M2000 Supercomputer with NVIDIA Blackwell Systems

The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
