ModelSim Description
ModelSim simulates RTL and gate-level code. This increases design quality and productivity through platform-independent compilation. The single kernel simulator technology allows transparent mixing of VHDL with Verilog. ModelSim is a cost-effective HDL simulation that offers an unprecedented level in verification capabilities. It is ideal for verifying small and medium-sized FPGAs, especially those with complex, mission critical functionality. ModelSim's advanced coverage capabilities are valuable metrics for systematic testing. ModelSim is easy to use, which lowers the barrier to leveraging verification resources. All coverage data is stored in UCDB, a highly efficient database. Coverage results are available interactively, after simulation, or following a merging of multiple simulation runs. FPGA designers can debug their designs using an easy-to-use, unified environment.

PathWave RF Synthesis
With powerful optimization tools and fast simulation, analyze RF and microwave systems. Automatic circuit synthesis technology allows you to explore performance trade-offs. PathWaveRF Synthesis (Genesys), provides basic functionality that is suitable for all RF and microwave circuit board and subsystem designers. PathWave Circuit Design allows you to identify RF design mistakes that are not obvious from spreadsheet calculations. This entry-level environment includes circuit, system and electromagnetic simulators. It will give you confidence in your design reviews prior to hardware realization. You can see your matching network being synthesized and optimized in just a few mouse clicks. Transfer the design to PathWave Advanced Designer System (ADS), and it will be included in a more complicated design.

RFPro Circuit
RFICs can be designed, analyzed, and verified using a variety of simulation methods. Gain confidence using steady-state and nonlinear solutions for design and verification. Wireless standard libraries speed up the validation of complex RFICs. Model silicon chips accurately. Optimize designs using sweeps and load pull analysis. Simulate RF designs using Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys Custom Compiler. Monte Carlo and yield analyses can be used to increase performance. Early in the design phase, assess the error vector magnitude (EVM), for the latest communication standard. Use the latest technology in foundries immediately. Early in the RFIC development phase, it is essential to monitor system IC specifications like EVM using RF simulation. Simulations include effects from parasitics on layouts, complex modulated signal, and digital circuitry. Keysight RFPro Circuit allows you to simulate in the frequency and time domain.

DipTrace
PCB Layout is a high level engineering tool for board design. It features smart manual routing of high speed and differential signals, shape based autorouter and advanced verification. It also has wide import/export capabilities. The design requirements are defined by net class rules, class-to class rules, and the specific settings by object types for each layer or class. DipTrace's design process includes real-time DRC. This allows for quick reporting of errors before they are made. The board can be viewed in 3D, and exported for mechanical CAD modeling. The final product will be of highest quality thanks to the design rule check. This includes detailed detailing, net connectivity verification, comparing to the source schematic, and an in-depth description. DipTrace is a single environment that allows for direct circuit-to board converting, updating from schematic, back annotation, and more. Nets can be divided into net classes using custom settings and rules that vary from class to class. Via styles can be used to organize through and blind/buried vias.

PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS)
PathWave ADS provides integrated design guidance via templates to make it easier to get started. It is easy to find the part that you need with the extensive component libraries. Automatic sync allows you to visualize the physical layout and create schematic designs. Data allows teams to visualize whether their designs are meeting specifications. PathWave ADS's data display and analytics capabilities produce graphs, charts and diagrams that will give you design confidence. With wizards, templates, and design guides, you can quickly accelerate your design. The entire design flow includes schematic, layout and circuit. As frequency and speed increase on printed circuit boards (PCBs), signal and power integrity become more important. Electronic device failures can be caused by transmission line effects. To simulate the board accurately, it is necessary to model vias, traces, and interconnects.
