<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>first</strong> <strong>antenna</strong> <strong>design</strong> <strong>tool</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>its</strong> <strong>kind</strong><br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> is a s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>tool</strong> that helps accelerate the <strong>antenna</strong> <strong>design</strong> and modelling process. It helps engineers<br />

make informed choices <strong>of</strong> <strong>antenna</strong> elements from a huge <strong>antenna</strong> database and to share their proprietary knowledge<br />

with others. Good starting <strong>design</strong>s and parameterised models <strong>of</strong> <strong>antenna</strong>s can be exported to <strong>CST</strong> MICROWAVE STUDIO®<br />

(<strong>CST</strong> MWS) for further <strong>design</strong>.<br />

Performance<br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> boasts the largest database <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>antenna</strong> <strong>design</strong>s and models available in any<br />

<strong>design</strong> <strong>tool</strong>. Users can explore <strong>antenna</strong>s in a continually<br />

growing database and easily compare<br />

well-known as well as lesser known <strong>antenna</strong>s.<br />

Each <strong>antenna</strong> in the database can be <strong>design</strong>ed for<br />

various objectives and estimated to assess <strong>its</strong> performance.<br />

All <strong>design</strong>s are validated and the export<br />

functionality makes the powerful capabilities <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>CST</strong> MWS even more accessible by providing engineers<br />

with fully parametric <strong>CST</strong> MWS models <strong>of</strong><br />

their <strong>design</strong>s at the click <strong>of</strong> a button.<br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> is more than just a database <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>antenna</strong>s – it is a <strong>tool</strong>box for <strong>antenna</strong> specialists<br />

and system engineers. Custom <strong>antenna</strong>s can be<br />

added to the database and information can be<br />

shared securely among colleagues and friends.<br />

This <strong>tool</strong>box includes utilities to <strong>design</strong> arrays, plot<br />

array factors and digitize data from graph images.<br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> saves valuable engineering time,<br />

allowing engineers to get to the customization<br />

phase <strong>of</strong> a <strong>design</strong> project faster and more reliably<br />

than ever before!

Explore<br />

Why only rely on what you already know about <strong>antenna</strong>s? Allow<br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> to expand your horizons by helping you explore<br />

and consider a wider variety <strong>of</strong> possibilities. Easily assess and<br />

compare specific information (like typical gain, bandwidth, impedance<br />

and pattern shapes) for each <strong>antenna</strong> and be sure that<br />

all your bases are covered before focusing on a specific element.<br />

Design<br />

When <strong>design</strong>ing an <strong>antenna</strong> for the <strong>first</strong> time, there are routine<br />

steps that need to be completed in preparation for the distinctive<br />

(non-standard) part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>design</strong> process – <strong>of</strong>ten these<br />

steps contain poorly documented subtleties.<br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> provides validated <strong>design</strong> algorithms and<br />

information that help accelerate these steps. Simply choose<br />

an <strong>antenna</strong>, select the <strong>design</strong> target (eg frequency, gain or<br />

compact size), enter objective values according to the <strong>design</strong><br />

specification and get a <strong>design</strong> that meets the objectives within<br />

seconds. <strong>The</strong> final refinement <strong>of</strong> the <strong>design</strong> is easily performed<br />

by optimization <strong>of</strong> the parametric model exported from <strong>Antenna</strong><br />

<strong>Magus</strong> in <strong>CST</strong> MWS.<br />

Export<br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> seamlessly integrates with <strong>CST</strong> MWS. Users<br />

can export fully parametric models <strong>of</strong> their <strong>design</strong>ed <strong>antenna</strong>s<br />

into <strong>CST</strong> MWS where geometry modification, platform integration,<br />

optimization, sensitivity analysis and other <strong>design</strong> tasks<br />

can be undertaken.<br />

Knowledge management system<br />

Engineers spend too much time redoing work that has already<br />

been done, due to ineffective information management. <strong>Antenna</strong><br />

<strong>Magus</strong>’ knowledge management system enables employees<br />

to share and access existing knowledge and resources already<br />

developed inside a working group.<br />

<strong>The</strong> system is <strong>design</strong>ed and tailored specifically for <strong>antenna</strong><br />

information. Efficient information management affects the bottom<br />

line <strong>of</strong> any company and ensures better results – faster.<br />

Utilities & <strong>tool</strong>s<br />

<strong>Antenna</strong> <strong>Magus</strong> provides <strong>tool</strong>s & utilities that can be used to<br />

simplify everyday <strong>antenna</strong>-related tasks.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se include <strong>design</strong>s and models <strong>of</strong> impedance transformers<br />

and feed transitions, a flexible array synthesis <strong>tool</strong>, an interactive<br />

<strong>tool</strong> to help tracing or digitizing data from graph images<br />

and many more.<br />
