The\ndiscipline relies on specialist expertise and uses schematics and layouts that\nLLMs cannot read in a consistent, deterministic way, so the process remains\nlargely manual. Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) 2027 addresses this by\nletting teams record workflows as macros their agents can learn from and\nconvert graphical designs into code they can read. Model Context Protocol\n(MCP) servers connect agents to the software, guiding LLMs and agents in their\ninteraction with ADS.\n\nWhen an engineer makes a request in natural language, their agent completes\nthe task in ADS. The MCP servers provide the agent with documented skills and\ntools built by Keysight that execute specific RF work consistently, reducing\nvariability caused by AI inference models generating answers statistically.\nThe agent then runs Keysight simulation to validate its output.\n\nKey benefits include:\n\n\n * Creates an open ecosystem for agentic workflows: The MCP servers work with AI\nassistants and LLMs that organizations are already using, and with tools from\nmultiple vendors in the same workflow.\n\n * Speeds and expands design cycles: Agents handle repetitive setup and\nsimulation steps in ADS, so engineers can cover more scenarios and find more\noptimal designs while reducing time to market.\n\n * Shares engineering knowledge: Macros recorded in ADS capture an experienced\nengineer’s methods for colleagues and agents to reuse across teams.\n\nNiels Faché, Senior Vice President, Keysight Design Engineering Software,\nsaid: “Agentic engineering is reshaping every stage of design from concept\nthrough verification.
