Techmaster Electronics is the authorized Keysight distributor in Vietnam for the PathWave design and EDA software portfolio — the simulation, modeling, and design environment that takes an RF, microwave, high-speed digital, or photonic concept from architecture through layout, EM verification, and measurement correlation. PathWave is what Vietnamese R&D centers, semiconductor design houses, and university labs use to design before they prototype.
Why PathWave matters for Vietnamese R&D. Designing 5G/6G front-end modules at Qorvo or MACOM, validating PCIe 6 / DDR6 signal integrity at Marvell or NVIDIA, building a chiplet-based silicon platform, running research labs at HUST / HCMUT / UTC — PathWave is the unified flow. Simulation correlates back to measurement on the same vendor’s instruments, removing model-vs-measurement debugging cycles that cost weeks per project on competing toolchains.

ADS is the most widely deployed RF/microwave circuit design tool in the world. Handles linear and harmonic-balance simulation, EM co-simulation, signal integrity, behavioral/physics-based modeling, and layout-to-EM verification. ADS round-trips natively with Keysight benchtop instruments — load-pull simulation in ADS, characterization on PNA/VSA/oscilloscope, correlation in one environment. Vietnam deployments: PA design for cellular base stations, 5G FEM design, PCIe Gen 5/6 and DDR5/6 signal integrity, transceiver IC characterization.
Genesys — affordable entry for RF filter/synth and architecture exploration, popular for university teaching labs. SystemVue — system-level modeling for 5G/6G PHY engineers, radar designers, mil-comm; libraries cover 5G NR, LTE-A, Wi-Fi 7, DVB-S2X, radar pulse compression, 6G FR3/sub-THz. RFPro/EMPro — 3D EM solvers integrated with ADS layouts; RFPro for routine antenna and package modeling, EMPro for full 3D structures. 3D Interconnect Designer (active 2026 focus) — chiplet, stacked-die, advanced package, PCB interconnect modeling; the toolchain for Vietnam’s emerging chiplet design ecosystem.
OpenTAP — Apache 2.0 open-source test automation framework. PathWave Test Automation layers commercial plugins + GUI editors on top. Standard framework for Vietnamese ATE engineers unifying bench, ICT, and modular systems. X-Series Measurement Apps — 25+ for 5G NR, LTE/LTE-A, Wi-Fi 6/6E/7, Bluetooth, EMI, phase noise, noise figure on N9000/N9020/N9030 analyzers. BenchVue — productivity layer for any lab running multiple Keysight benchtop instruments; halves time from setup to first measurement at HUST/HCMUT/UTC.
