4 Ways to Boost Simulation Data Processing Using Python
Python Webcast

Modern high frequency circuit simulation is becoming more complex and dealing with all the data that gets generated can be challenging. This webcast presents a straightforward and easy methodology for linking the powerful Python data processing environment to ADS. Practical examples illustrate the power and flexibility of this approach. No Python experience is necessary! Register now for Python webcast.

Designing Splitters, Couplers, Baluns and Attenuators?
GenesysNeed to quickly design splitters and couplers for feeding phase array antenna elements? Or a Wilkinson divider and Lange Coupler for your RF circuits? If you have forgotten how, here is a quick 10 minute video on what they are and how to design them. Do it at least 10x faster than traditional techniques through the use of automatic circuit synthesis in Genesys.

Matching Network Design Using Simulated Load Pull Data
Matching Network DesignAre you designing a power amplifier using a particular transistor?  Maybe you have run load pull simulations on the transistor, possibly at different source frequencies. How could you use simulated load pull data to help determine which of numerous impedance matching network parameter values would give the best performance? Registered users can get this ADS 2016 example that shows how to do this.

New RF Design Software Learning Kit for RF/MW Curricula
RF SW Learning KitThe RF Design Software Learning Kit explores the ways in which EDA software can add value to an already challenging RF/microwave curriculum. This learning kit includes a 170-page downloadable book, along with the associated ADS projects and videos. It provides step-by-step examples highlighting the theory and application of the curriculum within the ADS software environment.

Characterization of DDR4 Receiver Sensitivity Impact on Post-equalization Eye
DesignCon PapersThis DesignCon paper by Xilinx and Keysight presents a novel approach to characterize the Rx sensitivity impact on Rx post-equalization signal. We demonstrate that at the Rx output timing impairment is induced by common mode variation. The resulting jitter can be represented by a deterministic jitter model and incorporated in the statistical eye calculation.

Python Programming integration with IC-CAP
IC-CAP w/PythonPython is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively. It’s been used in many areas such as Statistical Analysis, or Artificial Intelligence; and it is also very useful in Device Modeling. Now we are introducing Python integration with IC-CAP (version 2013 and up), so you can readily use Python to gain additional productivity.

System Simulation Proves Essential To Updating The 3GPP NB-IoT Standard
NB-IoT StandardsHow exactly do you simulate the RF performance of Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), a standards-based, low-power wide area technology. That’s the question ASTRI— Hong Kong’s Applied Science and Technology Research Institute—faced when it discovered that the RF performance specified in the receiver wideband intermodulation definition for the 3GPP standard might not be accurate. Learn more.

5G Beams and Dreams: From FD-MIMO to Massive MIMO
What is the difference between beamsteering and beamforming?  What is Full Dimension MIMO, and how is it different from regular MIMO?  Will Massive MIMO be needed at millimeter-wave?  How will MIMO improve quality of service for end-users? Join Keysight’s 5G webcast to get a feel for the pulse of the 5G MIMO.
