3. Nearby objects should be placed so that coupling between the<br />

Component and the object does not occur: Metal polygons, vias, or<br />

dielectric bricks which couple to the Component ports may decrease the accuracy<br />

of the analysis as shown below.<br />

4. All ports must be on a single metal level: <strong>Sonnet</strong> does not support<br />

multi-level Components.<br />

5. Multiple ports on the same side of a Component should be<br />

aligned: In the illustration below, the ports on Comp1 are placed incorrectly<br />

and will produce an error during an analysis. The ports on comp2 are placed<br />

correctly.<br />

Wrong<br />

Correct<br />

The dashed lines represent the alignment plane.<br />

6. Reference planes must be the same length for each side of a<br />

Component: However, reference planes can be set independently for each<br />

side of the “port rectangle” as shown below.<br />
