End-to-End Co-Design for Ethernet: Bridging Photonics and Electronics with EOE Simulation

Register

As data rates continue to scale in modern data centers and AI-driven infrastructure, traditional siloed design approaches are no longer sufficient. This on-demand webinar introduces a unified electrical-optical-electrical (EOE) simulation workflow that bridges electronic and photonic domains using Photonic Designer and System Designer for Ethernet within the Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS).


Attendees will learn how to co-design and co-simulate the complete signal path from electrical channel impairments through optical modulation and propagation to detection within a single environment. The session will demonstrate how this integrated approach enables more accurate system-level validation, faster design iterations, and improved correlation between simulation and real-world performance.


What you will learn?

  • How to perform true end-to-end simulation across electrical and optical domains (EOE)
  • How to use an unified workflow combining channel simulation and photonic system design
  • The limitations of traditional, siloed electronic and photonic design flows
  • How to improve design accuracy and reduce costly design iterations
  • How to validate system performance early in the design cycle
  • How co-simulation accelerates time-to-market for high-speed Ethernet systems
  • How to model key impairments across the full link, including channel loss, optical noise, and nonlinear effects 


Who Should Attend?

  • Signal integrity engineers working on high-speed Ethernet links
  • Photonic design engineers developing optical transceivers and PICs
  • System architects in data center and AI infrastructure
  • Hardware design engineers involved in co-packaged optics (CPO) and pluggable modules
  • R&D teams focused on next-generation interconnect technologies
