MAGUS (PTY), CST and EMSS announce the next major release of Antenna Magus, version 3.0 - users can now add their own antennas to the Antenna Magus database

Antenna Magus offers the first antenna knowledge management system especially designed for antenna engineers. Years of accumulated antenna knowledge can now be managed in a logical way which is familiar to antenna engineers, as users are now able to add their own custom antennas to the existing Antenna Magus database.

The product database now boasts 148 antenna topologies and 7 transitions which can be designed for a wide variety of objective values. Validated simulation models of user-designed antennas can be exported to FEKO(r) and CST MICROWAVE STUDIO(r).

Utilities and libraries that have been added to the Antenna Magus toolbox help simplify everyday antenna-design tasks. One addition is the new Chart Tracing tool which converts scanned graph images to numbered (X,Y) or (r,theta) values by simply following the traces with the mouse pointer.
Soon after the first release of Antenna Magus we received numerous requests from customers who wanted to add their own antennas and designs to the Antenna Magus database. Having a tried and tested system that was already regularly used by our own engineers in developing content for our product, and having received valuable feedback from a group of selected users, we developed a way to store antenna information which makes sense to antenna engineers, stated Sam Clarke, Managing Director, MAGUS (Pty) Ltd. We are confident that this feature will not only improve the way antenna information is managed but will become the norm for any organisation who wants to capture, reuse and share valuable knowledge efficiently.
