What is ADS and what can it do?
ADS is a simulation tool with advanced capabilities:
DC, AC, S-parameter, LSSP, Transient, Harmonic Balance,
Circuit Envelope, Ptolemy, Momentum (EM), and more…

CREATE the design
SET UP the simulation.
Simulation results
(data) are written to
a dataset.
Netlist is sent to the
simulator.
A: Create the design
B: Set up the analysis
C: Display the data
Push this button to
simulate
Use one window for setup and simulation:
Use another window for results:
