ADS Related Material



	ADS Related Material
	Advanced Design System (ADS) from Agilent Technologies, inc. is an excellent electronic design automation (EAD) software widely used in RF and microwave area. At WAMI center, it is also extensively used in both teaching and research activities. This web page provides several useful links to various tutorials as well as related research projects. Press Release - August 2003 Industry Teaming for Graduate Course Development
	Tutorial
	Several basic tutorials on how to use ADS have given out here. These materials have been used in the Wireless Circuits and Systems Laboratory course at University of South Florida. By going through them, one can have a solid understanding on how to use ADS software.
