ADS/GENESYS Positioning

ADS is for designers who create advanced components

GENESYS is for engineers who make pc-boards that consume those components

The behavioral model should be the link between ADS and SPECTRASYS, as well as the link between ADS customers and their customers.


March 2006Page 52

ADS/GENESYS Application ComparisonADS • Tool-of-choice for enterprise applications• Should be standard for design flow• ADS is the industry standard tool with the widest range of technology and the

biggest installed base in the RF design.• ADS has interfaces into other products such as Cadence and Mentor IC and board

design tools. Eagleware GENESYS• Fast, easy to use design software • Great fit for practical design work• In an enterprise environment, augments ADS flow with unique technology. • More capable than competitors’ tools• Range of capabilities not as broad as ADS. • GENESYS offers unique RF architecture and synthesis technologies that work with

ADS to help you earlier in the design process.


March 2006Page 53
