MAGUS (PTY), CST and EMSS announce release of Antenna Magus, version 2.0 – the first antenna design software of its kind

Many other aspects of Antenna Magus have been improved with additional functionality. One addition is the new Antenna Array Synthesis tool which was added to assist engineers with array synthesis. This tool designs spacings and excitation tapers for a variety of different array topologies, based on performance requirements such as gain, beamwidth or squint angle. The array design can be simulated with isotropic elements or with any one of several typical patterns. The designed spacings, excitation taper and patterns are ready for export to FEKO and CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®.

“The response of the market to Antenna Magus Version 1.0 has been very positive. We have received a lot of valuable feedback from customers that has been used in developing the antennas and improvements implemented in Antenna Magus Version 2.0,” stated Sam Clarke, Managing Director, MAGUS (Pty) Ltd. “We are confident that version 2 will add as much value to the end-user as the introduction of this tool did in version 1.0”
