[1] It provides an integrated design environment to designers of RF electronic products such as mobile phones,[2] pagers, wireless networks, satellite communications, radar systems, and high-speed data links.

[3] Keysight ADS supports every step of the design process — schematic capture, layout, design rule checking, frequency-domain and time-domain circuit simulation, and electromagnetic field simulation — allowing the engineer to fully characterize and optimize an RF design without changing tools.

Keysight has donated copies of the ADS software to the electrical engineering departments at many universities.

[4] The deprecated Tektronix ADS is another, unrelated, electronic design automation system composed of TekSpice and QuickIC.
