Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) and WIN Semiconductors announced a joint GaN MMIC design workflow aimed at achieving first-pass tapeout success and reducing fabrication risk. The integrated environment links on-chip multi-domain simulation, 3D layout verification, and off-chip evaluation board design for 5G, Wi‑Fi, satellite, and defense RF applications.
The workflow uses WIN's NP120P GaN Process Design Kit within Keysight ADS and RF Circuit Simulation Professional to automate simulation, optimization, and verification, helping design houses prove full-system performance on evaluation boards before fabrication.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) completed the acquisition of VPIphotonics on June 9, 2026, expanding its photonic design automation portfolio to system-level simulation.
The combined tools now span device, circuit, and full optical link design, enabling connected electrical‑optical workflows and earlier issue detection with fewer prototype iterations.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) has joined the Siemens Digital Industries Software Solution Partner Program as a software and technology partner. The collaboration brings Keysight Eggplant Test, an AI-driven test automation platform, to users of Siemens Teamcenter product lifecycle management (PLM) software.
Customers can use Eggplant Test to validate digital engineering workflows, integrations, and enterprise applications before production, aiming to address complexity, reduce manual testing bottlenecks, and help maintain PLM system performance and reliability across the product lifecycle.
Keysight (NYSE:KEYS) added support for GlobalFoundries (GF) silicon photonics in its ADS Photonic Designer, extending its photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design ecosystem. Engineers can design PICs on GF’s platform and run full electro-optical-electrical (EOE) link simulations, including eye diagrams and TDECQ, in one environment.
The GF CLO PDK uses physics-based models aligned to GF’s process to improve correlation between simulations and fabricated silicon. According to Keysight, this unified flow can give earlier system-level insight, help achieve compliance before tapeout, and shorten time to first design. The PDK is available now.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) introduced the Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A RF signal analyzers to speed wideband wireless design and validation. Pro XA6 offers up to 8 GHz analysis bandwidth and frequency coverage to 67 GHz, while Expert XA5 provides swept measurements to 32 GHz and up to 2 GHz analysis bandwidth with dual-channel RF analysis.
Both platforms target 5G, WLAN, radar, and spectrum operations, aiming to improve signal visibility, reduce rework, and simplify RF test workflows.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) is collaborating with NTT DOCOMO and NTT to enhance realistic 6G channel modeling and wireless simulation. The MoU-driven effort focuses on measurement-based channel models and distributed MIMO evaluation, aiming for more scalable, repeatable testing of next-generation 6G architectures. Initial results will be shown at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) received DEKRA Hybrid eCall certification to the new EN 18052:2025 standard. The end-to-end test solution supports legacy and Next-Generation eCall over 4G/5G, validating emergency call setup, MSD transmission, voice quality, and network fallback for connected vehicles.
This builds on prior EN 17240 validation and aims to help automakers reduce compliance risk, improve interoperability, and speed time-to-market for safer, more connected cars.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) introduced a new capability in its RF Circuit Simulation Professional software that captures RF design workflows on an executable whiteboard. The tool records simulations, optimizations, decision trees, and parameters, auto-generating editable Python code usable across ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, and Synopsys Custom Compiler.
Workflows become reusable, sharable methodologies that can be automated and driven by AI, helping RF teams address the semiconductor talent gap and reduce manual setup in design review and tapeout. Keysight plans to demonstrate the solution at IMS2026, booth #19035.
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) will showcase spectrum and RF innovations at IMS 2026 in Boston from June 7–12, 2026, booth #19035.
Three interactive zones will cover RF design simulation, real‑world RF environment emulation, and complex RF system validation, alongside multiple technical talks and panels on AI, quantum, phased arrays, and PNT.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) introduced a new Electrical-Optical-Electrical (EOE) simulation solution in ADS 2026, enabling end-to-end electrical-to-optical-to-electrical signal-chain modeling in a single environment. The tool targets AI data centers and Ethernet designs, helping engineers evaluate cross-domain interactions, signal integrity, nonlinear effects, noise, and design tradeoffs before committing to silicon.
