Help for layout in Microwave Office

I regret to tell you this but if you want to get reliable results do not use microwave office at all. I went thru all these problems several years ago and then switched to more reliable simulators.

Genesis vs. Microwave Office

If you had to choose between either Agilent Genesis or AWR microwave office, which would it be. Ease of use, correlation between simulations and real test data, and suite cost are my biggest issues. Need a linear and nonlinear simulator, Emag simulator, and layout package.

It really depends on what you're doing; both in terms of the technology domain (antennas, filters, optics, ... ) and if you're doing pure research or not. If the subject you're working in is well treated, you're probably safe with the a 3d solver which claims to be suited for the task. e.g. some of the first things you'll be looking for is:

How can I extract resistance,capacitance,and inductance from S-parameters?

There are software packages that fit RLC equivalent circuits to S-parameters, such as . microwave office and Sonnet will also. I believe Ansoft sells a seperate package to do this. Using good judgement you can come up with an equivalent RLC circuit by hand and run an optimizer to fit it to the s-parameters.
