At Sonnet, we provide a full line of Electromagnetic (EM) EDA software products optimal for high-frequency analysis. See the matrix below for the best fit to your applications.
No single product can adequately address the full range of high-frequency EM analysis challenges. However, most structures in the realm of high-frequency design fall into the categories of either Planar or Fully 3-Dimensional.
We're pleased to offer the Sonnet Suites of 3D Planar EM analysis tools for designs involving predominantly planar (but not necessarily strictly planar) structures. For full 3D high-frequency EM analysis, we offer the CST
Microwave Studio to customers in North America.
Understanding Electromagnetic Simulation Software
Video - Which EM simulation software should I choose?
This
video presentation describes four different types of analyses and
gives a commercial example for each type. High level advantages and
disadvantages of each tool are summarized so that the designer
can choose the tool, or combination of tools best applied to a
specific problem. All product names in this presentation are
registered trademarks of their respective companies.
NOTE: Since this video was created, CST has introduced frequency
domain products that readily solve multi port structures or
structures that are very small compared to wavelength. Please
contact Sonnet for further information.
Sonnet Accuracy
Benchmark: A Quantitative Evaluation of Error
It is our hope that this document will initiate the
transformation of the field of electromagnetic software
validation from a subjective hand-waving contest to one where
precise, quantitative evaluation of error is held in high
regard.
Testing Limits of Algorithms Associated with High Frequency Planar
Electromagnetic Analysis
Rather than showing how “accurate” electromagnetic software
is, this paper looks for error and failure modes with an eye to
developing test cases to expose them and to quantify them. This
shows our confidence in the analysis of our software. This paper was presented at the European
Microwave Conference, October 2003, Munich by Dr. James C. Rautio.
