Design software supports EM Socket II Architecture

The new partner flow boasts 64-bit compatibility, as well as asynchronous EM simulations, and is perfect for printed circuit board (PCB) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design applications.

AWR Connected for Sonnet provides an integrated “solver on request” interface that enables users to work within NI AWR Design Environment, specifically Microwave Office circuit design software, while integrating Sonnet’s high-accuracy simulation engine, emto edit and analyse circuits.  

To simplify usage, Microwave Office contains dialogue boxes that provide control settings for Sonnet’s analysis tool.

The software’s global settings efficiently apply to all EM structures in a project, while local settings allow for precision application to a single EM structure within the project. 

The interface also offers the option of accessing Sonnet-exclusive features such as parameters or dielectric bricks, when editing is done within the Sonnet Project Editor. Once a project analysis is completed in Sonnet Suites, the user can easily import the resulting data back into the Microwave Office environment.

The AWR Connected for Sonnet solution is available to qualifying mutual customers.
