Overview of Keysight ADS Interface

Sonnet’s plug-in for Keysight’s Advanced Design System (ADS) enables the designer to configure and run the EM analysis from a layout, and extract accurate electrical models. The Keysight ADS Interface provides a seamless translation capability between Sonnet and Keysight’s ADS. From within the ADS Layout, you can directly create Sonnet geometry files. EM simulations can be invoked and the results incorporated into your design without leaving the ADS environment.

The Keysight ADS Interface only supports geometry projects. It is not possible to translate a netlist project from Sonnet. The illustration below shows how the Keysight ADS Interface relates to Sonnet Suites.

Requirements

It is important that you verify that Sonnet supports the version of ADS that you are using. In addition, the Keysight ADS Interface is only available if you have purchased a Keysight ADS Interface License from Sonnet.

To begin using the ADS Interface, see Installation of the Keysight ADS Interface.
