Sonnet Lite - V12 EDA Design Flow Integration
Working seamlessly within leading EDA Design Flow Frameworks
Sonnet stands alone as an industry-leading high frequency EM analysis software that integrates tightly with leading EDA design flow frameworks in addition to functioning as a standalone high frequency planar EM software. In Sonnet Lite Release 12, we continue our commitment to provide these interfaces free of charge to students and professionals alike.
In the Sonnet Lite Release 12, several changes and enhancements have been made to our interfaces to these popular design frameworks.
Agilent ADS Framework Integration Enhancements
Version 12 enhancements to our integration to the Agilent ADS Suite include:
- New option to create lossless extension transmission lines to the box wall margins; saves memory over using the metal definition to which the port is connected in the ADS layout
- Support for ADS 2009

AWR Microwave Office Integration Enhancements
Version 12 enhancements to our integration to the AWR EMSocket include:
- Internal ports at the ends of interior transmission lines in AWR layouts are automatically mapped to independent Sonnet Co-Calibrated Ports
- Support for mapping non-default dielectric magnetic properties between AWR and Sonnet
- Automatic EM Extraction in AWR (using Sonnet as the target EM simulator) will map interior ports created in the layout to Sonnet Co-Calibrated Ports for superior calibration accuracy
- Support for AWR 2008
