Just this type of effect is achieved in radar systems, where detection range and resolution are enhanced, improving overall radar performance. For satellite communications, bi-directional RF amplifiers strengthen the reception and transmission capabilities of satellite signals, ensuring stability and reliability of communications.
Seamless data exchange between systems
The collaboration between Keysight and Siemens EDA will thus be able to contribute to speeding up the efficiency in the design of wireless and defense systems. Not least because a seamless data exchange has been established between the solutions and, as mentioned in the intro, the integration of bidirectional complete hierarchical constructions.
This is often used by RF, microwave and high-speed designers to design and simulate complex RF and microwave circuits, comp enter and system. Engineers can now seamlessly transition between detailed RF design in ADS and system-level design in Xpedition, maintaining integrity throughout the development process. This is critical for optimizing performance in areas including 5G/6G communications, advanced radar systems, and electronic warfare applications, where the interplay between RF and digital domains is critical to system performance.
AJ Incorvaia, senior VP, Electronic Board Systems, Siemens Digital Industries Software comments:
“As engineering teams strive to achieve digital transformation, the digital thread between RF and electronic system design becomes more critical. We are pleased to announce enhanced integration that enables concurrent design to optimize system performance and improve quality while accelerating design closure.”
Heavy customers in the defense and high-tech industry
On the customer side, it can be noted that Northrop Grumman, Trident and Apple are well-known Keysight customers. The company is now also familiar to the PLM and simulation and analysis world through last year’s purchase of the France-based ESI Group for approximately $1 billion.
Regarding Siemens EDA, part of Siemens Digital Industries Software’s, it is its largest revenue generator, accounting for just over a third of the division’s revenue. Among large Nordic users Saab Defense is a prominent customer.
Xpedition Enterprise Software is one of the the industry’s most innovative PCB design solutions, providing integration from system design definition to manufacturing execution. Its patented technologies can reduce design cycles by 50 percent or more, while significantly improving overall quality and resource efficiency.
The new product is part of Keysight Advanced Design System 2025 and Siemens Xpedition Enterprise release 2409.
