Sonnet Suites Applications
Sonnet Suites is best suited to design challenges involving predominantly planar (3D planar) circuits and antennas. 3D planar circuits consist of layers of metal traces embedded in stratified dielectric material. These circuits may also include vias and vertical metal sheets (z-directed strips). Sonnet Pro allows any number of of dielectric/metal layers including multiple user defined metal types and dielectric materials. Some examples of 3D planar circuits include MMIC, RFIC, coplanar waveguide (CPW) , LTCC, PCB (single and multiple layers) and patch antennas.
GaAs low noise amplifier MMIC. Sonnet computes response and current density of the featured interstage matching network from 10-30 GHz.
A spiral inductor on lossy silicon. The substrate is 1 mm thick with a conductivity of 20 S/m.
PCB low-pass filter application with printed inductors.
Sonnet provides the industry’s most efficient handling of multi-layer LTCC structures.
Wideband and narrowband finite ground coplanar waveguide.
Superconducting filter design modeled in Sonnet for a radio astronomy application.
A RH circularly polarized patch antenna design for operation at 2.4 GHz, with quadrature phase feed.
Quickly and accurately model high-speed busses and circuits with signal integrity concerns.
