<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 />
