W2321EP Datasheet, PDF (2/2 Pages) Keysight Technologies – W2321 Layout Element

The ADS Layout Element includes:
– Automatic layout synthesis and insertion of microwave and RF structures such as
transmission lines, discontinuities, transitions, spirals, couplers, splitters, meanders
wire bonds, and vias.
– An extensive and complete set of standard and advanced layout editing capabilities
for creating production-ready, high-frequency layouts for MMIC, RF Module, and RF
PC board design.
– Synchronization between layout and schematic environment to update changes in
either one, with full user control of automatic or manual modes.
– User-deined layout macro and environment customization, and Graphical Cell
Compiler technology to reduce manual programming.
– Industry-standard ile format support, including GDSII, Gerber, DXF, and ODB++.
– 3D visualization with vertical stretching and sliding cut planes to verify placements
of interconnects in multi-layer structures.
– Generation of layout look-alike components in schematic for error-free hookup with
circuit or system components.
– Integration with Cadence Allegro and Mentor Expedition for designing RF/mixed
signal PC boards
– Integration with Design Rule Check W2323 (DRC) element to ensure a correct MMIC
layout before foundry tapeout.
– Integration with Momentum G2 Advanced Model Composer to generate layouts of
arbitrary scalable passive 3D planar structures with accurate simulation models.
– Integration with Momentum G2 and EMDS G2 elements to enable EM optimization
and viewing of electromagnetic surface currents and ields.
Unlike other high-frequency layout design tools where automatic schematic
synchronization can sometimes misinterpret a manually reined layout, the ADS database
architecture provides full user control of automatic or manual synchronization between
layout and schematic to prevent unintended layout changes. The W2321 Layout Element
integrates seamlessly with full 3D and planar EM simulators in ADS to provide the 3D
planar drawing environment for EM simulation and viewing of surface currents and ields.
