Sonnet Lite

So, let’s talk about Sonnet Lite. This software is super handy when you're diving into how circuits and antennas behave with high-frequency electromagnetic fields. It really helps tackle the logistics and visualization of materials involved in these setups.

Understanding High-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields

This specialized application was built just for folks who want to explore and analyze the design of planar and 3D planar circuits, as well as antennas. It does a great job looking at the characteristics of high-frequency electromagnetic fields.

What Can You Design?

The main focus of Sonnet Lite is on planar circuits. Think microstrips, striplines, coplanar waveguides, PCBs, vias combinations, vertical metal sheets, and different layers of metal traces that are usually found in layered dielectric materials.

Create RF Models Easily

With Sonnet Lite, you can whip up RF models using S, Y, Z parameters or even the SPICE model for both your planar circuits and antennas. Just remember that you'll need physical descriptions of the circuits to get started! The software uses a solid Method-of-Moments EM analysis based on Maxwell’s equations. It takes into account all kinds of effects like parasitic ones, cross-coupling, enclosure impacts, and package resonance effects too.

Circuit Filters Made Simple

And here’s something cool: Sonnet Lite also tackles reduced-size edge-coupled microstrip bandpass filters! If you’re working on those types of designs, this tool has got your back!
