The Next-Generation of Circuit Simulation in RF EDA
白皮书
Radio-Frequency (RF) Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is at a turning point. Historically, engineers adapted their workflows to rigid software tools, often sacrificing flexibility and efficiency. With the rise of increasingly complex, multi-domain hardware systems, these constraints are no longer sustainable.
Keysight is reimagining RF simulation as a programmatically controlled, extensible platform—an approach that integrates tightly with measurement science, leverages automation, and opens the door to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This whitepaper explores:
- The limitations of traditional RF simulators and why a new architecture is needed.
- Key design motives for developing a next-generation RF simulation engine.
- Immediate productivity benefits from Python integration, troubleshooting aids, and parallel optimization.
- Future possibilities for automated workflows, no-code design sequencing, and AI-driven exploration.
The result is an RF simulator that behaves more like an instrument: portable, automatable, and seamlessly pluggable into diverse workflows—unlocking higher productivity, faster innovation, and better first-pass design success.
