Please, visit our General Videos page to view general introductory videos on Sonnet. You can also visit Sonnet Applications Page to learn about various problems where Sonnet has proven to be an indispensable simulation tool.

Also, there are two tutorial manuals provided with your release, the Sonnet Tutorial and the Supplemental Tutorials. If you do not have access to a hardcopy of the user manuals, you may access the manuals in PDF format through the Sonnet task bar. Click on the Manuals button on the Sonnet task bar, then click on the appropriate button to open the desired tutorial manual.

Below you will find Sonnet Video Tutorials and Application Notes on specific Sonnet features.  These presentations are designed to show you how to make the best use of Sonnet and its features.

Adaptive Band Synthesis (ABS)  (software demo video)		play		tips
	With Sonnet’s unique Adaptive Band Synthesis (ABS) technique, you can achieve detailed simulation results in a small fraction of the time required by point-by-point EM simulation. This video uses an example of a six resonator hairpin filter to demonstrate how to use ABS.
Sonnet Conformal Mesh (narrated presentation)		play		tips
	Sonnet introduced a new and radical way of meshing in 2003: Conformal Meshing. Unlike any meshing algorithm ever devised before, the conformal mesh subsections actually curve to follow curving transmission lines. In addition, the conformal mesh subsections are large, yielding a fast analysis however, the conformal mesh maintains full accuracy, even with their large size. Accuracy and speed, both without compromise. In this presentation, Dr. James Rautio describes how Sonnet achieves this seemingly impossible goal.
Cadence Virtuoso Interface (Sonnet Application Note: SAN-201A)		PDF		1.7MB
	The new plug-in integration of the Sonnet Professional analysis program into the Cadence Virtuoso layout environment allows Cadence users to perform accurate EM modelling on selected Virtuoso cells, for physical verification of critical components and interconnections. This paper describes how to use the Cadence interface.
Agilent ADS Interface (Sonnet Application Note: SAN-202A)		PDF		486KB
	Sonnet offers a menu level integration into the Agilent ADS design environment. This interface, called Ebridge allows the RFIC designer to take layouts very easily from ADS to Sonnet for high precision EM analysis, and back annotate the results. This document, describes the data transfer and simulation setup of a layout-only project.
DXF Translator (Sonnet Application Note: SAN-203A)		PDF		215KB
	The DXF translator allows you to convert a DXF file to a Sonnet project compatible file. The purpose of this application note is to describe a simple example where a DXF file containing a coupled line structure is imported into Sonnet and analyzed.
Eagleware-Elanix GENESYS™ Interface (Sonnet Application Note: SAN-204A)		PDF		460KB
	Eagleware-Elanix GENESYS™ 2004 introduces an easy to use interface to the Sonnet® Suites Professional™ (Release 9.52 or later). This application note shows how to integrate Sonnet analyses directly within GENESYS workspace to take full advantage of the advanced features and options of the Sonnet EM simulator.
