PathWave ADS Bundled Software
PathWave ADS Software Bundles provide designers with a choice of value-packed,
pre-configured combinations of software built for specific design workflows. These
combinations can provide up to four different simulation technologies, system, circuit,
electro-thermal and electromagnetic (EM), for communication system, GaAs MMIC,
RFIC, RF system-in-package (SiP), RF board and signal integrity designers.
PathWave ADS bundles are comprised of the W3600B PathWave ADS Core + EM
Design (EMPro) Core environment and add separate PathWave ADS Simulation
Elements, each of which provide specific design and simulation capabilities.
Simulation elements are themselves comprised of one or more separate modules,
which add additional design and development functions. These modules, which were
formerly sold separately, are now grouped together into very efficient and effective
combinations.
