ADS has no demo - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Unfortunately, and for what ever reason, ADS does not offer a deomo like Ansoft, Eagleware, and Microwave office. Ansoft has a fairly robust student version which you can download for free. Microwave office and Eagleware offer 30 day trials for their full version software. ADS "may" bring in a copy for you to evaluate, but unless your a potential customer or you are already with a company in which Agilent wants to get there foot in the door, it is doubtful.

Hello,

Well with all the respect to all of the software tools you mentioned, you can't compare the performance of ADS to those. Therefore, Agilent keeps themselves the "right" of not distributing a demo to customers, as they are and were prominent in the EDA domain

You are quite right about the dominance of ADS.
