CST Releases Antenna Magus Design Tool
Price cut 50% to $5900 during launch
 DARMSTADT,
Germany, May 5, 2009 – Magus (Pty) Ltd., CST - Computer Simulation Technology AG
(CST), EM Software & Systems-S.A. (Pty) Ltd. today announced the release of a new
software product to accelerate the antenna design and modeling process. Antenna
Magus – the first antenna design tool of its kind – has a huge database of
antennas that can be explored to find, design and export models of designed
antennas to CST MICROWAVE STUDIO and FEKO. It is expected that Antenna Magus
will become an invaluable aid to antenna design engineers, to EMC engineers
requiring antenna models and to system integrators who require antenna models
for antenna placement studies.
About Antenna Magus
Antenna Magus is an expert system for antenna design which is suitable for a
broad range of applications because of the number of antennas in its database.
Its feature set is targeted at aiding engineers get to the customization phase
of an antenna design quickly and reliably. Validated, parametric models of the
initial design are exported seamlessly into FEKO or CST MICROWAVE STUDIO, where
customization can be done in tried-and-trusted analysis tools. Antenna Magus
will expand both the number of antennas it can design and export, as well as in
the number of analysis tools it interfaces with.
“Antenna Magus was created to fill a clearly identifiable need in the
market.” observes Sam Clarke, Managing Director, Magus (Pty) Ltd. “The seamless
integration with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO and FEKO will create immediate benefit for
all users, regardless of experience level with these tools or antenna design.”
Dr Ulrich Jakobus, FEKO product manager, says: “The FEKO team is very excited
about the partnership that has been set up with Antenna Magus. Antenna Magus
will most definitely simplify the day-to-day work of antenna designers and
modellers. We envisage that FEKO’s customers will benefit greatly from the use
of Antenna Magus’s exported FEKO models while designing highly customized
antennas and performing antenna placement studies.”
“We were impressed by the product idea which is completely new to the
market”, commented Dr. Bernhard Wagner, Managing Director, CST. “We entered into
this partnership with Magus Pty because this concept helps engineers at an early
stage of their design with a comprehensive overview of literature, general
properties, and first approximate results. It’s a great time-saver for almost
everyone who deals with antennas and integrates well into the design flow
offered by CST STUDIO SUITE.”
Availability
Antenna Magus will be available immediately through all vendors of CST
MICROWAVE STUDIO and FEKO.
