'''Advanced Design System''' ('''ADS''') is an [[electronic design automation]] [[software]] system produced by [[PathWave Design]], a division of [[Keysight Technologies]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Electronic design, test automation and measurement equipment|url=https://www.keysight.com|url-status=live|website=Keysight Technologies|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010720022434/http://www.keysight.com:80/ |archive-date=2001-07-20 }}</ref> It provides an integrated design environment to designers of [[radio frequency|RF]] electronic products such as [[mobile phones]],<ref>[https://archive.today/20120722161547/http://www.commsdesign.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=192200523 "Evaluating Performance Tradeoffs in a Dual-Mode, W-CDMA/EDGE Digital IF Receiver", ''CommsDesign'', Oct 07, 2002]</ref> pagers, [[wireless networks]], [[satellite]] communications, [[radar]] systems, and [[signal integrity|high-speed data links]].<ref>[http://www.keysight.com/find/signal-integrity-analysis Design and Simulation of High Speed Digital]</ref>

Keysight ADS supports every step of the design process — [[schematic capture]], [[Integrated circuit layout|layout]], [[design rule checking]], [[frequency domain|frequency-domain]] and [[time domain|time-domain]] circuit [[simulation]], and [[electromagnetic field]] simulation — allowing the engineer to fully characterize and optimize an RF design without changing tools.

Keysight has donated copies of the ADS software to the [[electrical engineering]] departments at many [[university|universities]].<ref>[http://www.keysight.com/main/redirector.jspx?action=ref&cname=EDITORIAL&ckey=1488740&cc=US&lc=eng Keysight EEsof EDA University Educational Support Programs]</ref>

==Notes==
The deprecated Tektronix ADS is another, unrelated, [[electronic design automation]] system composed of TekSpice and QuickIC.
