The orthogonal dimer structure in the SrCu2(BO3)2 spin-1/2 magnet provides a realization of the Shastry-Sutherland model. Using a dimer-product variational wave function, we map out the phase diagram of the Shastry-Sutherland model including anisotropies. Based on the variational solution, we construct a bond-wave approach to obtain the excitation spectra as a function of magnetic field. The characteristic features of the experimentally measured neutron and ESR spectra are reproduced, like the anisotropy induced zero field splittings and the persistent gap at higher fields.
