Polar SI9000 Insertion PCB Field Solver 2026

Polar Si9000e 2026: PCB Insertion Loss Field Solver

Si9000e is Polar Instruments’ industry-standard software for modeling insertion loss and impedance in high-speed PCB transmission lines, supporting frequencies from KHz to 50+ GHz. The 2026 release introduces a new Si Excel interface with insertion loss capability (from Q2 2026), 64-bit compatibility, and expanded modeling functions .

Key New Features in 2026

Si Excel Interface with Insertion Loss Support

The 2026 release significantly expands the Microsoft Excel integration, now supporting both impedance (Si8000m) and insertion loss (Si9000e) calculations :

  • New Single Installer: Replaces legacy 32-bit and 64-bit versions, supports both Office architectures seamlessly .

  • Network Latency Fix: Overcomes latency issues reported with network licenses in earlier 64-bit implementations .

  • Full Structure Support: Now includes a complete set of functions for all Si8000/Si9000 impedance structures in expert mode (previously only a subset was available) .
