If you are looking for tools to enhance your designs in Sonnet Software, you might want to check out our EDA partners. There are two Sonnet Software EDA partners that offer software that complement our high frequency electromagnetic software. The first company, Applied Computational Sciences (ACS) has developed their flagsahip product, LINC2, which creates planar circuit realizations that can be directly exported as Sonnet Project Files. The next company, Nuhertz Technologies, LLC provides Filter Solutions®, which supplies filter layouts in Sonnet Project Format and allows high frequency EM analysis by Sonnet's software.

Applied Computational Sciences (ACS) designs, develops and sells Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software tools for RF and microwave engineering applications. The flagship product, LINC2, provides Sonnet Project Files automatically for EM simulation of circuits and planar components. The LINC2 product can be used with Sonnet Lite and the Sonnet Suites.

LINC2 from ACS offers exact circuit synthesis, schematic capture, circuit simulation, and optimization in a single affordable design environment. Schematic capture and a high performance circuit simulator form the foundation on which LINC2 seamlessly integrates its comprehensive suite of circuit synthesis modules. LINC2 directly interfaces to leading RF and Microwave design suites, allowing it to be used stand-alone or by leveraging its capabilities with those of other major packages. The LINC2/Sonnet interface uses a single button click to automatically transfer the LINC2 layout geometry into Sonnet for world-class EM analysis.

Nuhertz Technologies, LLC specializes in design software for low and high frequency filter synthesis and analysis. The Nuhertz filter synthesis software, Filter Solutions®, is capable of providing filter geometries in Sonnet Project Format, enabling high frequency EM analysis by Sonnet Lite and the Sonnet Suites.

Filter Solutions is a computer aided engineering (CAE) program that is used to design and analyze a variety of filter networks including digital filters, analog filters at arbitrarily low frequencies, and distributed element filters at RF and Microwave Frequencies. This filter design software can instantly compute microstrip or stripline geometries to build distributes element networks from user-defined S or G transfer function values. Nuhertz also provides analysis tools to account for custom modifications and real world parasitic effects. Engineers looking for active, passive and digital-filter designs will find this tool to be very helpful for lowapass, highpass, bandpass and band-reject filters.
