Sonnet Lite Applications
Here are a few circuits that can be analyzed with Sonnet Lite.
This example shows a 1.5-turn microstrip series-configuration spiral inductor on undoped silicon (er = 10.2).
This example shows an interdigital bandpass filter on er = 2.0 material with a thickness of 40 mils.
This example shows a microstrip branchline coupler on alumina (er = 9.8) material with a thickness of 25 mils.
This example shows a spiral inductor surrounded by ground straps.
This example is an interdigitated capacitor composed of seven closely coupled parallel lines.
The circuit shows a microstrip line connected to a via to ground. The top of the via has a pad which is larger than the via itself.
This is an example of a hairpin filter with a pass-band of approximately 4.0 to 4.15 GHz.
This is an example of a single compact resonator.
This example is an MIM capacitor which is composed of two parallel plates with a dielectric layer between the plates.
This example is of a notched resistor (tuned by a laser, perhaps).
This example circuit is used in the Sonnet tutorial to teach the basics of creating and analyzing a circuit.
This is an example of a short circuited shunt connected stub. The stub
wraps around, connects to a MIM capacitor, and then is connected to
ground with a via.
