The transaction is subject to the closing of Synopsys’ acquisition of Ansys for $35 billion, which is expected to close in the first half of 2025.

Keysight said the Optical Solutions Group will bring software solutions for optical systems design, analysis, simulation, and virtual prototyping, as well as a team with industry expertise.

Keysight will broaden its design engineering software portfolio and build on its core positions in radio frequency (RF) / microwave electronic design automation (EDA) and physics-based computer-aided engineering capabilities.

Keysight’s design engineering software and hardware test solutions enable customers to efficiently innovate, accurately predict real-world performance, and accelerate time-to-market.

Niels Fache, Vice President of Keysight’s Design Engineering Software, said: “This acquisition will give us the capabilities to enable high-performance system use cases beyond electronics, including optics and photonics.”
