ADS has no demo - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

-- Amateur Radio
-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor
-- Antennas
-- CAE, CAD, & Software
-- Circuits & Components
-- Employment & Interviews

-- Miscellany
-- Swap Shop

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.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
