Keysight Technologies, Inc. KEYS recently partnered with Siemens EDA to empower engineers to design wireless and defense systems efficiently and precisely. The collaboration combines Keysight’s Advanced Design System (ADS) and Siemens’ Xpedition Enterprise suite of electronic design automation (EDA) tools, creating a powerful co-design platform. This integration allows engineers to efficiently manage the complex interplay between radio frequency (RF) and digital system design, dramatically improving the design and development process for cutting-edge technologies. The new functionality is available in Keysight’s ADS 2025 and Siemens’ Xpedition Enterprise release 2409.
Wireless communications and defense systems are becoming increasingly complex. These advanced systems require a balanced integration of RF components, high-speed digital circuits and sophisticated signal processing. All of these elements must be synchronized to ensure optimum performance.
The partnership between Keysight ADS and Siemens Xpedition builds on prior efforts to enable bidirectional integration between RF and microwave engineering tools. The latest initiative takes that integration to the next level by allowing complete designs to move smoothly between Keysight ADS and Siemens Xpedition Designer and Layout. This dynamic integration eliminates the errors and the tiresome task of manually translating libraries between different design tools.
One of the core benefits of this integration is the ability to effortlessly shift between detailed RF circuit simulations and system-level designs. Engineers can conduct their analysis using ADS’ powerful simulation capabilities and work in Xpedition to optimize system layouts and manufacturing processes. This ensures that every part of the design process, from concept to production, is strongly integrated. This level of integration is critical in applications such as 5G/6G communications, radar systems and electronic warfare, where RF and digital domains must work in sync to meet the system performance requirements.
