RF System Explorer (RFSE)
Highlights
RF System Explorer (RFSE) in Advanced Design System (ADS) is an RF line-up analysis tool for RF system design. RFSE enables ADS users to analyze their circuit designs in the context of target systems in which their design will operate. The designer can perform a characterization based on ADS circuit analyses which will produce a Simulation Extracted Behavioral Model (SEBM). RFSE can also be used by System Engineers in Keysight System Design (SystemVue) platform. RF System Explorer in ADS was developed with the circuit designer in mind and to facilitate the collaboration with System design teams.
