SonnetLab Stub Optimization Tutorial With Parameters

An introductory tutorial for parameter optimization with SonnetLab.

The attached ZIP file contains a tutorial for using the SonnetLab Toolbox for MATLAB®. SonnetLab is a free MATLAB® toolbox that enables users to control and automate Sonnet's 3D planar electromagnetic simulator.

The attached script will open an existing Sonnet project in the form of a single stub and optimize the length of the stub to provide low return loss at 5 GHz. The original circuit contains a dimension parameter that controls the length of the stub and the optimization routine modifies the parameter’s value to generate ten iterations of the project. The attached archive includes a document that describes every line of code in detail.

This tutorial requires the latest version of SonnetLab. SonnetLab can be downloaded from the Sonnet Software website: http://sonnetsoftware.com/support/sonnet-suites/sonnetlab.html
