AWR Microwave Office Examples

Here are 5 examples that demonstrate the use of the Sonnet/AWR Microwave Office Interface. These examples require any Sonnet Suite 9.52 with Microwave Office Interface license or a registered Sonnet Lite 9.53 and AWR's Microwave Office 2003.
Existing 9.52 customers can evaluate the Microwave Office Interface by contacting us and requesting a Microwave Office Interface demo license.

All of these examples were prepared by Dr. Muehlhaus Consulting & Software GmbH, www.muehlhaus.com.

4400 MHz Interdigital Filter
This example is based on the MWO example 4400MHz_interdigital_Filter which AWR uses to demonstrate EM analysis. The mesh setting for MWO's built-in EMSight simulator has been changed from low to normal, to obtain more accurate results. Sonnet needs only four EM simulated frequencies and only 9 seconds to provide fine data for the full 4-5 GHz band (Pentium4 2.8GHz, Sonnet Lite 9.53). 3D View

Printed Microstrip Filter  
This project shows a Printed Microstrip Filter designed on a 15 mil Alumina substrate. Simulations show a comparison between the linear simulation, MWO EMSight, and Sonnet Lite. The EMSight and Sonnet Lite simulations are extremely close to each other, but the linear simulation is noticeably different. The Sonnet Lite analysis produced 321 frequencies from 2 to 18 GHz, but only required 13 EM simulated frequencies. This was achieved by using Sonnet's unique ABS technology. The total simulation time was 51 seconds (Pentium4 2.8GHz, Sonnet Lite 9.53).

9GHz ECM Filter  
This example is based on the AWR example 9GHz_ECM_Filter which AWR uses to demonstrate the different mesh density settings.

Sonnet needs only eight EM simulated frequencies and only 20 seconds to provide fine data for the full 2-15 GHz band (Pentium4 2.8GHz, Sonnet Lite 9.53).

Hairpin Filter  
Sonnet needs only four EM simulated frequencies and only 33 seconds to provide fine data for the full band (Pentium4 2.8GHz, Sonnet Lite 9.53).

Interdigital Filter with Circular Vias  

This examples demonstrates advanced features of Sonnet such as circular vias. As long as you keep the EM structure as a "native editor" structure, the advanced Sonnet features will be maintained (the native Sonnet data is stored inside MWO and is not simplified). The simulation results are then based on the accurate EM structure model as seen in Sonnet.
