IEEE Final Year Projects using Keysight ADS — RF, Microwave, SI/PI & ESL
Keysight PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) is the industry-standard EDA platform for RF, microwave, mmWave, high-speed digital and multi-technology module design. In 2026, semiconductor and systems companies demand engineers who can close the loop between circuit simulation, electromagnetic extraction and system-level verification. At ProjectsatBangalore our Keysight ADS projects are built exactly for this skill set — every topic combines schematic design, layout, Momentum/RFPro EM co-simulation, SIPro/PIPro extraction and, where relevant, SystemVue ESL verification into a complete, IEEE-aligned final-year package suitable for VTU, Anna University and JNTU evaluation as well as MTech thesis and conference publication.
We cover five tightly related domains: RF & Microwave Circuit Design (GaN/SiGe PAs, LNAs, mixers, switches), Filter & Passive Component Design (SIW, microstrip, LTCC, matching networks), High-Speed Digital & Signal/Power Integrity (PCIe Gen5/6, DDR5, SerDes channels, PDN), Antennas & EM Simulation (phased arrays, RIS unit cells, mmWave patches), and System-Level ESL Design (5G NR / 6G RF front-end, EVM/BER, multi-standard verification). All projects use the latest ADS 2025/2026 capabilities including Python automation, RFPro interactive EM, SIPro/PIPro and SystemVue.

ADS is the industry-standard platform used at Qualcomm, Broadcom, Intel, MediaTek, Samsung, NXP and defence labs. Completing a full multi-domain ADS project demonstrates circuit + EM + system co-design skills that map directly to RFIC, high-speed digital and antenna job profiles. Topics in 5G/6G, SI/PI for PCIe/DDR, GaN PA, SIW filters and RIS antennas remain highly relevant for IEEE publication and interviews in 2026.
Selected projects can include measurement correlation guidance using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), spectrum analyzer or Keysight instruments. We provide recommended test setups, calibration notes and comparison templates so students can validate simulation against fabricated PCBs or modules where hardware is available.
