ADS/GENESYS Positioning
ADS is for designers who create advanced components GENESYS is for engineers who make pc-boards that consume those components The behavioral model should be the link between ADS and SPECTRASYS, as well as the link between ADS customers and their customers.

ADS/GENESYS Application Comparison

ADS
Tool-of-choice for enterprise applications Should be standard for design flow ADS is the industry standard tool with the widest range of technology and the biggest installed base in the RF design. ADS has interfaces into other products such as Cadence and Mentor IC and board design tools.
Eagleware GENESYS
Fast, easy to use design software Great fit for practical design work In an enterprise environment, augments ADS flow with unique technology. More capable than competitors tools Range of capabilities not as broad as ADS. GENESYS offers unique RF architecture and synthesis technologies that work with ADS to help you earlier in the design process.
