SonnetLab Toolbox for MATLAB®
SonnetLab is a free MATLAB® toolbox that enables users to control and automate Sonnet's 3D planar electromagnetic simulator.
With the SonnetLab toolbox you can:
- Enhance tuning and optimization of circuits
- Avoid repetitive work by automating similar tasks
- Drive Sonnet's 3D planar EM analysis engine directly from MATLAB
- Increase productivity and save time by writing scripts to modify layouts
- Extend the functionality of Sonnet by implementing optimization algorithms
- Export JXY data from a layout (Requires Sonnet Release 13)
- Export farfield pattern data from a layout (Requires Sonnet Release 13 and Sonnet Farfield Viewer™)
- Reverse engineer a Sonnet Project file into SonnetLab compatible with MATLAB commands
- And much more...
Users can manipulate every aspect of a Sonnet project from within the MATLAB environment. SonnetLab is fully compatible with all Sonnet Suites product levels, including our free version, Sonnet Lite.
Use the SonnetLab toolbox to:
- Read, write and generate Sonnet projects
- Edit existing Sonnet projects
- Generate Touchstone® S, Y, Z parameter files
- Sweep or optimize planar circuit geometry and material properties inside Sonnet EM Projects
- Export JXY data to a CSV file and import Sonnet generated JXY data into MATLAB (requires Sonnet Release 13)
- Export farfield pattern data and import Sonnet generated pattern data into MATLAB (requires Sonnet Release 13 and Sonnet Farfield Viewer™)
No additional MATLAB toolboxes are required to utilize SonnetLab to its full functionality.
SonnetLab is compatible with:
- The Sonnet Suites Release 12 and 13
- MATLAB Version R2009b or higher
- Windows XP (32 or 64 bit), Windows Vista (32 or 64 bit), Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit)
