<strong>New</strong> <strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Product</strong> <strong>Launched</strong><br />
Stellenbosch, South Africa, Darmstadt, Germany, 1 May 2009 - Magus (Pty) Ltd., <strong>CST</strong> - Computer Simulation<br />
Technology AG (<strong>CST</strong>), EM Software & Systems-S.A. (Pty) Ltd. today announce the release of a new software<br />
product to accelerate the antenna design and modelling process. <strong>Antenna</strong> Magus – the first antenna design<br />
tool of its kind – has a huge database of antennas that can be explored to find, design and export models of<br />
designed antennas to <strong>CST</strong> MICROWAVE STUDIO® and FEKO. It is expected that <strong>Antenna</strong> Magus will become<br />
an invaluable aid to antenna design engineers, to EMC engineers requiring antenna models and to system<br />
integrators who require antenna models for antenna placement studies.<br />
About <strong>Antenna</strong> Magus<br />
<strong>Antenna</strong> Magus is an expert system for antenna design which is suitable for a broad range of applications<br />
because of the number of antennas in its database. Its feature set is targeted at aiding engineers get to the<br />
customisation phase of an antenna design quickly and reliably. Validated, parametric models of the initial<br />
design are exported seamlessly into FEKO or <strong>CST</strong> MICROWAVE STUDIO, where customisation can be done in<br />
tried-and-trusted analysis tools. <strong>Antenna</strong> Magus will expand both the number of antennas it can design and<br />
export, as well as in the number of analysis tools it interfaces with.<br />
“<strong>Antenna</strong> Magus was created to fill a clearly identifiable need in the market.” observes Sam Clarke, Managing<br />
Director, Magus (Pty) Ltd. “The seamless integration with <strong>CST</strong> MICROWAVE STUDIO and FEKO will create<br />
immediate benefit for all users, regardless of experience level with these tools or antenna design.”<br />
Dr Ulrich Jakobus, FEKO product manager, says: “The FEKO team is very excited about the partnership that has<br />
been set up with <strong>Antenna</strong> Magus. <strong>Antenna</strong> Magus will most definitely simplify the day-to-day work of antenna<br />
designers and modellers. We envisage that FEKO’s customers will benefit greatly from the use of <strong>Antenna</strong><br />
Magus’s exported FEKO models while designing highly customized antennas and performing antenna placement<br />
studies.”<br />
“We were impressed by the product idea which is completely new to the market”, commented Dr. Bernhard<br />
Wagner, Managing Director, <strong>CST</strong>. “We entered into this partnership with Magus Pty because this concept helps<br />
engineers at an early stage of their design with a comprehensive overview of literature, general properties, and<br />
first approximate results. It’s a great time-saver for almost everyone who deals with antennas and integrates<br />
well into the design flow offered by <strong>CST</strong> STUDIO SUITE.”<br />
Availability<br />
<strong>Antenna</strong> Magus will be available immediately through all vendors of <strong>CST</strong> MICROWAVE STUDIO and FEKO.<br />
