A quick overview of how to download and use Signal Integrity Design Using Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) including examples.

Keysight ADS 2016 features a host of new, technologies designed to improve productivity, including two electromagnetic (EM) software solutions specifically created to help signal and power integrity engineers improve high-speed link performance in PCB designs. What follows is a listing of 8 ways in which ADS 2016 can help you, the engineer, overcome your signal and power integrity challenges.

In the beginning there was transient simulation. Ensuring functional chip-to-chip links in a system meant performing a time-domain simulation with a SPICE simulator. The result was a time-domain waveform that was evaluated during post processing for signal integrity (SI). The main task was to measure the eye diagram, usually assuming a perfect clock as the phase reference. Due to rising signaling speeds and decreasing timing margins, the task was made more challenging when it became necessary to account for other effects.
