best rf software

hi,
cadence is the best for circuit level design
ADS is also good, it is best for system level design

ADS, Ansoft, Genesys

ya, genesys is also good

I think the Agilent Genesys is the best value for RF software. It is a good balance of full-feature and reasonable price (although not as reasonable as it used to be!)

Microwave Office of course! I bought Eagleware (aka Genesys) in '92 when it came on four 5-1/4 floppies. This was my personal copy, which I later traded in for the basic version of Microwave Office. The base version has linear simulation and layout, of course you can scale it up to handle MMIC and RFIC. I have the full Analog Office and VSS at work though.

From my experience: MWO.
I have version 5.51 (released in 2002.) and i am pretty satisfied.
There are some bugs (like in every other program), but as i saw many of them are corrected in version 6.51.

Does MWO support load-pull/source-pull analysis as ADS does?

Yes.

microwave office is great , i have used VSS it is very simple and ultra friendly

but still ADS is the standard RF/Microwave Design software

khouly

Agilent Genesys is what I prefer for the board level (linear, nonlinear, planar EM, system) design.
