Sonnet Software Inc., a provider of High Frequency Electromagnetic (EM) Simulation Software, introduces the latest SONNET® Suites Professional™ Release 11.
One of many new features in Sonnet Release 11 is an industry first: Co-calibrated™ Ports. Co-calibrated Ports are based on a new de-embedding technology that enables perfect calibration of internal port groups. Co-calibrated Ports are also used in the new Sonnet Components giving users the most accurate way to combine external device models such as transistors or passive surface-mount devices all within a Sonnet EM analysis.
Sonnet Release 11 continues to pioneer the way for users to tightly interface with their design framework tool of choice such as Agilent EEsof EDA Advanced Design System (ADS), AWR® Microwave Office® or Cadence® Virtuoso®.
A totally redesigned ADS Interface allows complete access to Sonnet EM simulation from within the ADS design environment. The ADS Interface also features automatic creation of layout look-alike symbols for ADS schematic S-parameter models generated in Sonnet.
Sonnet Release 11 also includes a 64-bit EM solver capable of full-wave EM analysis with no limitation on the computer’s physical memory capacity.
The solver performance is improved by up to 40 percent for Intel and AMD processor platforms. Sonnet Release 11 also introduces the Sonnet Cluster, which allows easy setup of distributed computing.
