Polygon Edge(s)<br />

When your ground node connection is set to Polygon Edge(s), the ground reference<br />

of your Component is connected to a polygon edge(s) selected by you when<br />

adding the Component. You may specify as many ground terminals as you need.<br />

Ref<br />

Circuit Metal<br />

Examples of this are:<br />

• Transistor data without parasitics to ground, but with a ground path<br />

included in the <strong>Sonnet</strong> structure<br />

• A multi-pin module with one or more ground pins<br />

NOTE:<br />

The Polygon Edge(s) ground node connection is only available for Data<br />

File type Components.<br />

Terminal Width<br />

The terminal width is the electrical contact width of the Component. Entering a<br />

terminal width allows you to accurately model the current flow from the circuit<br />

geometry into the Component.<br />

There are three types of terminal width: feedline, one cell and user defined. Each<br />

type of terminal width is illustrated and explained below.<br />
