Sonnet IMS Tutorials
Sonnet Tutorials presented at IMS 2011
Did you know that permittivity is dependent on the direction of fields? This is called anisotropy, and not only does Sonnet support this in analysis, but we have developed a technique to characterize material as well. If you need accurate simulation, this tutorial is for you.
In this tutorial, we will give you all the information you need, including software and hardware recommendations, to be able to run the fastest EM simulations possible.
In this tutorial, we create and simulate a spiral inductor in a typical semiconductor process, starting with inductor layout and process stack and ending with data curves to show how inductance and Q vary with frequency.
We select a dipole antenna and illustrates how to draw the dipole, set up analysis frequencies, analyze and tune the dipole.
A big surprise with thin substrates is that metal surface roughness is a major factor, and not just for loss. Roughness also adds substantial series inductance. With Sonnet, you can analyze the effect of roughness on a distributed resonator.
Learn how to parameterize the coplanar waveguide gap and conductor widths with this demonstration and watch as we simulate parameter sweeps to explore the effect of widths on characteristic impedance.
In this tutorial, you will learn out how Sonnet Co-calibrated Internal ports can provide you with the power to quickly and easily optimize MMIC layouts with speed AND accuracy.
In this video, you will learn to incorporate surface mount devices (SMDs) in RF printed circuit board (PCB) simulations in the Sonnet EM analysis environment.
In this video, we will show you the basics of Sonnet and will perform an EM analysis on a single stub band reject filter in about 40 clicks.

Sonnet demonstrates Port Tuning, a new methodology which harnesses the accuracy of EM simulation with the speed of circuit theory. Watch and participate as filter designs are rapidly tuned and tweaked.
This two-part presentation will demonstrate how to build finite ground coplanar waveguide (FGCPW) transmission line structure in Sonnet and you will learn helpful tips on how to accurately model CPW designs.
Part two of the CPW demonstration that will teach you how to build finite ground coplanar waveguide (FGCPW) transmission line structure in Sonnet and you will learn helpful tips on how to accurately model CPW designs.
Learn how to parameterize the coplanar waveguide gap and conductor widths with this demonstration and watch as we simulate parameter sweeps to explore the effect of widths on characteristic impedance.
Let us show you how to create and simulate a spiral inductor using Sonnet's patented conformal meshing technique. Learn how easy it is to prototype spiral inductor designs in Sonnet.
In this introductory video, we will demonstrate through examples the uses and features of SonnetLab Toolbox for MATLAB.
