Sonnet Suites Professional高频电磁（EM）软件套件旨在满足当今苛刻的设计挑战，主要涉及平面（3D平面）电路和天线。 主要是平面电路包括微带线，带状线，共面波导，PCB（单层和多层）以及与通孔，垂直金属片（z向导片）的组合，以及嵌入分层介电材料中的任意数量的金属迹线层。Sonnet Suites 17.52是一个突破性版本，包含我们在这十年中制作的最重要的更新，改进和重新制作。全新的界面既完全现代又易于熟悉，并且该封装为EM仿真带来了新的可用性。
完全重新制作的界面
v17引入了易于使用，现代且极其直观的界面，窗口提供几乎无限的灵活性。使用既熟悉又简单，按钮，菜单和设置组织得非常好。您还可以配置您的设计环境以适合您的工作流程，将控件放在Sonnet窗口的任何位置或单独的窗口中。
标签界面
保持您的项目井井有条。 Sonnet窗口现在包含显示在单独选项卡中的所有正在运行的模块，使您可以快速浏览设计过程的不同部分并保持井井有条。标签可以根据需要重新排列或移动到自己的窗口中，然后由用户自行决定添加回主窗口。
Sonnet EM协同仿真（SEC）
扩展您的模拟能力; v17为Keysight®ADS引入了Sonnet的EM协同仿真（SEC），允许您在ADS环境中执行EM协同仿真。放置在ADS原理图中的SEC组件可以调用Sonnet EM仿真，允许您以最大的简便性和灵活性进行调整和优化。
会话管理器
一目了然地查看您的工作区，轻松地浏览它。 Sonnet会话窗口允许您访问Sonnet中的所有模块，管理项目文件，访问帮助和Sonnet示例文件以及访问各种管理任务。主会话选项卡包含一个会话管理器，它显示会话中当前打开的所有内容，可用于轻松管理会话元素和在模块之间移动。默认情况下，会话管理器显示在Sonnet的每个模块中。
港口增强
Sonnet现在比以往任何时候都更灵活地将电流输入和输出电路。在第17版中已经在创建和建模端口方面进行了大量改进。端口类型根据电路中端口的位置自动分配，并立即反馈正确的端口放置。此版本中引入了一种新型端口，即delta间隙端口。端口增加了几项功能，包括分配本地接地多边形，为单个端口分配多个数字以及控制端口的极性。
Sonnet技术文件（STF）
直接进入您的设计！ v17为Sonnet接口和转换器引入了Sonnet技术文件，可以方便地存储堆叠所需的所有信息。
Metal Bias
通过先进的生产流程，我们需要能够模拟我们正在生产的产品而不是我们正在绘制的产品。新的Sonnet技术文件包含了金属定义，这些定义考虑了平面和通孔金属的制造效果，包括宽度，间距和与损耗相关的金属偏置。在左边，布局（红色）覆盖了潜在的偏差（绿色）。图像是一种戏剧化，仅用于说明目的。目前仅支持特定进程。
工作队列
现在比以往任何时候都更容易在多台机器上组织多个运行！新的“作业队列”选项卡已替换分析监视器以控制和监控分析。这可用于设置作业以供以后分析，或立即运行分析作业。如果要手动或在指定时间开始分析，可以定义新队列，然后在将作业添加到该队列之前指定手动或定时启动。您可以在会话中定义多个作业队列。
范围
现在比以往任何时候都更容易执行复杂的模拟并使其保持井井有条，因为v17具有用于设置更强大和更高效的分析扫描的新实现。
性能
更快地运行模拟！除了众多幕后优化之外，桌面解算器（DTS）的线程数已增加到8个，而高性能解算器（HPS）的线程数已增加到64个。
响应查看器中的测量和方程
在查看不同类型的数据时，在Sonnet中查看不同的数据集更方便和可访问。 响应查看器中提供了许多新的测量和预定义的公式，并结合了用于管理数据曲线的新界面。
远程服务器设置
通过直观的界面简化和简化了远程服务器的设置，使管理员和用户能够高效地利用所有硬件。
TrueVolume小节
为了更准确地模拟复杂的3D横截面和结构，Sonnet开发了新的TrueVolume子部分（专利申请中）。 该修订模型允许在您的设计中模拟真实的体积和三维电流。 由于该技术的先进性，Sonnet正在测试新功能，并打算在v17版本中发布它。
Sonnet’s suites of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) Software are aimed at today’s demanding design challenges involving predominantly planar (3D planar) circuits and antennas. Predominantly planar circuits include microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, PCB (single and multiple layers) and combinations with vias, vertical metal sheets (z-directed strips), and any number of layers of metal traces embedded in stratified dielectric material.Sonnet Suites 17.52 is a breakthrough release featuring the most major updates, improvements, and re-works we’ve produced in this decade. An all new interface is both thoroughly modern and instantly familiar, and the package brings a new level of usability to EM simulation.

Completely Remastered Interface
v17 introduces an easy to use, modern and extremely intuitive interface, with windows that provide almost infinite flexibility. Usage is both familiar and easy, with buttons, menus, and settings beautifully organized. You can also configure your design environment to suit your workfow, placing controls anywhere in the Sonnet window or in separate windows.
Tabbed Interface
Keep your projects organized and convenient. The Sonnet window now contains all running modules displayed in separate tabs, allowing you to quickly move through different parts of your design process and stay organized. Tabs may be rearranged or moved into their own windows as needed and then added back to the main window at the user’s discretion.
Sonnet EM Co-Simulation (SEC)
Extend your simulation capability; v17 introduces Sonnet’s EM Co-Simulation (SEC) for Keysight® ADS which allows you to perform EM Cosimulation from within the ADS environment. An SEC component placed within the ADS schematic can invoke Sonnet EM simulations, allowing you to tune and optimize with maximum ease and flexibility.
Session Manager
See your workspace at a glance and move through it effortlessly. The Sonnet session window allows you to access all the modules in Sonnet, manage your project files, access help and Sonnet example files, and access various administrative tasks. The main session tab contains a session manager which displays everything presently open in your session which can be used to easily manage elements of your session and move between modules. The session manager is displayed by default within every module in Sonnet.
Port Enhancements
Sonnet now has more flexibility than ever to get currents in and out of your circuits. Numerous improvements in creating and modeling ports have been made in v17. The port type is automatically assigned based on the placement of the port in the circuit with immediate feedback on correct port placement. A new type of port, the delta gap port is introduced in this release. Several capabilities have been added to ports including assigning a local ground polygon, assigning mutliple numbers to a single port and controlling the polarity of ports.
Sonnet Technology File (STF)
Get right into your designs! v17 introduces the Sonnet technology file for Sonnet interfaces and translators which conveniently stores all the information needed for the stackup.
Metal Bias
With advanced production processes, we need to be able to simulate what we’re producing as opposed to what we’re drawing. The new Sonnet Technology file incorporates metal definitions which account for fabrication effects including width, spacing, and loss-dependent metal bias for both planar and via metals. At left, the layout (red) is overlain on a potential bias (green). Image is a dramatization for illustrative purposes only.
Job Queues
It is now easier than ever to keep multiple runs organized on multiple machines! The new Job Queue tab has replaced the analysis monitor to control and monitior your analyses. This can be used to set up jobs for later analysis, or to run analysis jobs immediately. If you wish to start an analysis manually or at a specified time, you can define a new queue, then specify a manual or timed start before adding jobs to that queue. You may define multiple job queues in your session.
Sweeps
It is now easier than ever to perform complex simulations and keep them organized, as v17 features a new implementation for setting up your analysis sweeps that is more powerful and efficient.
Performance
Run your simulations faster! In addition to numerous behind the scenes optimizations, Desktop Solver (DTS) thread count has been increased to eight, and High Performance Solver (HPS) thread count has been increased to 64.
Measurements and Equations in Response Viewer
It is more convenient and accessible to view different data sets in Sonnet when viewing different types of data. There are a number of new measurements and pre-defined equations available in the response viewer, combined with a new interface for managing your data curves.
Remote Server Setup
Setting up remote servers has been streamlined and simplified with an intuitive interface, so that admins and users can keep all of their hardware utilized efficienctly.
TrueVolume Subsections
To more accurately simulate complex 3D crosssections and structures, Sonnet has developed new TrueVolume Subsections (Patent Pending). This revised model allows for true volumetric and 3-dimensional currents to be simulated in your designs. Due to the advance nature of the technology, Sonnet is testing the new feature and intends to release it in a v17 point release.
