Antenna Magus is actually nothing like any other antenna design software product. It takes on a completely new approach to designing antennas. You may have seen other “Antenna design software” tools that are intended to assist engineers with antenna design but aren’t really that useful since many of them consist of a very small selection of known antennas that can only be designed for a limited set of objectives over a small range of input parameters.
Another common misconception is that analysis software and antenna design software are the same thing. “Design” and “analysis” are in fact two completely different concepts which should not be confused. Analysis forms an important part of the antenna design process, but the design process consists of a number of steps to be completed before the antenna analysis and optimisation can start.
All antenna engineers are familiar with a number of antennas. For some it is only a handfull while some seem to have unlimited knowledge of different antenna types and an in depth understanding in the underlying physics of how they actually work. The bottom line is that not one person can know everything about antennas and that hands-on experience is probably the most valuable commodity in the field of antenna design. When faced with new design requirements most engineers will start with antenna topologies that they are familiar with.

Workflow
Explore : Antenna Magus has been designed to present information in a manner that enables engineers to consider various options with minimal time and effort.
Design: The design capabilities offered by Antenna Magus are the most flexible of all commercial antenna design tools.
Export: Antenna Magus’ export functionality allows more time to be spent on antenna design and less time on mastering simulation software.

Add your own antenna
Collections of proprietary antennas or custom designs can added to the Magus database and securely shared – capturing valuable engineering effort in a simple, logical format.

Tools
Antenna Magus is more than just a database of antennas. It is a toolbox for antenna engineers, full of useful utilities that can be used to simplify everyday antenna tasks

Arrays
Design and analyse antenna arrays of different shapes and sizes.
Import custom layouts and specify 3D element patterns.

Once the engineer is satisfied with his/her designs, the final step is to export the “ready-to-run”designed antenna models to FEKO and/or CST MICROWAVE STUDIO where the antenna elements can be further designed and optimised to meet the given requirements.
