New capabilities in ADS 2011 include:

• true multi-technology RF design, which enables co-design with multiple technologies (board, laminate, package, module, and IC);
• a use-model that makes EM simulation (via Momentum and FEM) easy for every engineer;
• EM technologies for improved speed, accuracy and convergence;
• load-pull capabilities for faster, better matching-circuit design from measured data;
• layout improvements that make physical design in ADS easier than ever; and
• dozens of additional capabilities and improvements for all ADS users.

Agilent will debut ADS 2011 on the Web and at live events around the world (e.g., Agilent EEsof EDA users-group meetings, design forums and seminars) in November and December. ADS 2011 is expected to ship in early 2011.
