Introduction

Keysight's Advanced Design System (ADS) software is a power tool for simulating and optimizing RF circuits.

Get Access to ADS

From Keysight: (License for your personal computer)

Students can download a license for their own computer. They can request a license from https://connectlp.keysight.com/StudentLicense (Links to an external site.). Licenses will be emailed to them within 24 hours (typically much shorter). Since University of Utah has the W2030UU license, they will receive licenses for ADS, RF Synthesis (formerly Genesys), and System Design (formerly SystemVue).
