Automating the creation of schematics for added RF elements reduces the time it takes to update schematics once the RF circuit is validated. Bi-directional interface with ADS layout The bi-directional physical interface between Allegro PCB Editor and Agilent ADS enables designers to implement their RF layout designs either in Allegro PCB Editor or in the ADS environment. With PCB RF features, designers can implement the RF design with parameterized components based on a pre-defined RF library or create desired flexible shapes and lines with FSE functionality. The layout structure in Allegro PCB Editor can be transferred to ADS quickly and accurately. It also enables any change/ optimization for layout structure in ADS based on electromagnetic simulation to be backannotated to Allegro PCB Editor. Discrete components library translation The Analog/RF Option allows users to translate discrete, packaged parts from ADS to the Allegro parts library, such as schematic symbols and package footprints. The schematic and layout files are handled at the same time.
