Netlist projects provide you with a powerful circuit analysis tool. Examples of ways in which the netlist may be used include:
- Cascading Sonnet projects: You can analyze and combine multiple projects using previously existing data for the subprojects if it is available. This is particularly useful when analyzing large, complex circuits which require circuit subdivision for an em analysis. When analyzing a netlist project, em will automatically interpolate between frequencies if there are differences between the frequency sweeps used in the subprojects. It is also possible to impose the same frequency sweep on all the subprojects in a netlist. For more information about circuit subdivision, see Circuit Subdivision.
- Cascading S-, Y- and Z- parameter data files: You can read and combine multiple sets of S-, Y- and Z-parameter data files. This is particularly useful if you wish to combine results from another vendor’s software for use in an analysis by em. When analyzing a netlist project, em will automatically interpolate between frequencies if there are differences in the frequencies between the data files.
- Inserting modeled elements into a circuit: Modeled elements, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors and transmission lines, can be combined with geometry subprojects and S-, Y- and Z-parameter data files.
