Tool makes antenna design quicker and more flexible

Automatically suggesting practical design objectives, design capabilities for all 250 antenna types have been upgraded to include 'Smart Design' functionality. This can also convert information provided by the designer between different representations, instantly and as required. Version 5.0 includes the library of specifications, incorporating the properties of typical design specifications used in a variety of industries. This predefined specification speeds the design process and enables more reliable designs. Antenna Magus version 5.0 allows user to add specification information, which can easily be stored and retrieved for re-use in other antenna design projects.

Many existing capabilities have been improved for this latest version. Enabling data to be digitised from images of measurement or simulation plots, the chart tracing tool has been integrated into the specification library and also includes automated extraction of representative properties such as beamwidth and sidelobe level. Antenna Magus now allows all design elements, including parameter values and 3D images, to be saved to file or clipboard in various text and image formats. This simplifies reporting with easy access to the required resources. It can also be integrated into computational electromagnetic simulation tools, such as CST STUDIO SUITE. This enables engineers to easily move to detailed analysis and integration phases.

With Antenna Magus receiving regular improvements and extensions, CST has introduced a new update mechanism which allows all future updates and releases to be downloaded and installed from within the tool's interface at any time.

Antenna Magus Version 5.0 is available now.
