Gold Standard RF & Microwave Innovation, From Silicon to System

As RF and microwave systems scale in frequency, bandwidth, and integration, engineers face growing challenges—from coupling effects and thermal interactions to interference, packaging complexity, and system‑level performance uncertainty. Disconnected tools, limited physics fidelity, and late‑stage surprises slow innovation and increase design risk.

At IMS 2026, Synopsys present a unified, interoperable, physics‑accurate simulation platform enabling first‑time‑right RF design from silicon and package to antenna and full system. Our end‑to‑end multiphysics workflows combine trusted EM accuracy with system‑aware analysis, AI‑driven optimization, and scalable automation. Explore how teams accelerate design exploration, manage complexity, and confidently deliver next‑generation RF, microwave, and high‑frequency systems across MHz‑to‑THz applications.

A Lunar Surface Communications Testbed - Demonstration #2

Find us in the RF Systems Pavilon - Booth #20088

As NASA's Artemis program establishes a sustained human presence on the Moon, reliable surface communications are mission-critical. While technologies like Wi-Fi and 3GPP (4G/5G) are proven on Earth, the lunar RF environment is harsher, unfamiliar, and impossible to fully field-test ahead f time.

This booth features the NASA Glenn Research Center Emulation and Modeling (GEM) Testbed - a hardware-in-the-loop RF validation platform that brings realistic lunar surface communications testing into the lab.

This demonstration is a collaboration between:

  • NASA Glenn Research Center – Lunar communications research and system validation
  • Ansys (part of Synopsys) – High-fidelity RF and digital mission modeling 
  • Keysight Technologies – Hardware RF channel emulation and measurement 

Together, they deliver an end-to-end digital-to-hardware workflow for validating wireless systems in extreme lunar environments.
