Microwave Office Insights

What is Microwave Office?

Microwave Office (now part of Keysight's PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS)) is a high-frequency circuit design software suite. It is commonly used for designing RF and microwave circuits, MMICs (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits), RF PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), and modules. It provides tools for linear and nonlinear circuit simulation, electromagnetic (EM) analysis, and physical layout. Engineers use it to model, simulate, and optimize their designs before prototyping, reducing design cycles and costs.
