At lower frequencies with simpler modulation, RF power amplifier (PA) designers could safely concentrate on a few primary metrics – like gain and bandwidth – and rely on relaxed margins to ensure proper operation in a range of conditions. Today’s advanced RF PA design is a different story. mmWave and sub-THz frequencies introduce… Read More
On the high-speed digital design frontier with Keysight’s Hee-Soo Lee

From Silos to Systems, From Data to Insight: Keysight’s Upcoming Webinar on EDA Data Transformation
In the fast-evolving world of electronic design automation (EDA), where complexity multiplies with every nanometer shrink and AI integration, data silos are the silent killers of innovation. Keysight Technologies, a leader in design and test solutions, tackles this head-on with their webinar “From Silos to Systems,… Read More
An Insight into Building Quantum Computers
Given my physics background I’m ashamed to admit I know very little about quantum computers (QC) though I’m now working to correct that defect. Like many of you I wanted to start with the basics: what are the components and systems in the physical implementation of a quantum “CPU” and how do they map to classical CPUs? I’m finding the… Read More
Podcast EP317: A Broad Overview of Design Data Management with Keysight’s Pedro Pires
Daniel is joined by Pedro Pires, a product and technology leader with a strong background in IP and data management within the EDA industry. Currently a product manager at Keysight Technologies, he drives the roadmap for the AI-driven data management solutions. Pedro’s career spans roles in software engineering and data science… Read More
Video EP11: Meeting the Challenges of Superconducting Quantum System Design with Mohamed Hassan
WEBINAR: Design and Stability Analysis of GaN Power Amplifiers using Advanced Simulation Tools
Why should high frequency circuit designers consider stability early in the design process? Isn’t there enough to worry about just making the circuit function at the fundamental frequency?
In the past, Microwave Engineers used to solve stability problems in the lab, perhaps adding bypassing or loss in a strategic location to… Read More
Modern Data Management: Overcoming Bottlenecks in Semiconductor Engineering
In a DACtv session on July 9, 2025, Pedro Pires from Keysight’s Design Engineering Software addressed the critical role of data management in modern semiconductor engineering projects. The presentation highlighted why data has become a bottleneck, how Keysight’s SOS (Save Our Source) platform mitigates these challenges,… Read More
