The Sonnet Lite Suite

Sonnet Software provides commercial EDA software solutions for high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) analysis. Sonnet's suite of EM Software is aimed at today's demanding design challenges involving predominantly planar (3D planar) circuits and antennas. Predominantly planar circuits include microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, PCB (single and multiple layers) and similar structures with vias, vertical metal sheets (z-directed strips) and any number of layers of metal traces embedded in stratified dielectric material. Electromagnetic analysis assumes the circuits are in a six-sided metal box to simulate a true metal enclosure, and accurately includes the effects of package resonances. Changing boundary conditions enables analysis under open environment conditions.
