Antenna Magus is a software tool that helps accelerate the antenna design and modelling process. It helps engineers
make informed choices of antenna elements from a huge antenna database and to share their proprietary knowledge
with others. Good starting designs and parameterised models of antennas can be exported to CST MICROWAVE STUDIO
(CST MWS) for further design.
Antenna Magus
The rst antenna design tool of its kind
Antenna Magus boasts the largest database of
antenna designs and models available in any
design tool. Users can explore antennas in a con-
tinually growing database and easily compare
well-known as well as lesser known antennas.
Each antenna in the database can be designed for
various objectives and estimated to assess its per-
formance. All designs are validated and the export
functionality makes the powerful capabilities of
CST MWS even more accessible by providing en-
gineers with fully parametric CST MWS models of
their designs at the click of a button.
Antenna Magus is more than just a database of
antennas it is a toolbox for antenna specialists
and system engineers. Custom antennas can be
added to the database and information can be
shared securely among colleagues and friends.
This toolbox includes utilities to design arrays, plot
array factors and digitize data from graph images.
Antenna Magus saves valuable engineering time,
allowing engineers to get to the customization
phase of a design project faster and more reliably
than ever before!

Why only rely on what you already know about antennas? Allow
Antenna Magus to expand your horizons by helping you explore
and consider a wider variety of possibilities. Easily assess and
compare specic information (like typical gain, bandwidth, im-
pedance and pattern shapes) for each antenna and be sure that
all your bases are covered before focusing on a specic element.
Design
When designing an antenna for the rst time, there are routine
steps that need to be completed in preparation for the distinc-
tive (non-standard) part of the design process often these
steps contain poorly documented subtleties.
Antenna Magus provides validated design algorithms and
information that help accelerate these steps. Simply choose
an antenna, select the design target (eg frequency, gain or
compact size), enter objective values according to the design
specication and get a design that meets the objectives within
seconds. The nal renement of the design is easily performed
by optimization of the parametric model exported from An-
tenna Magus in CST MWS.
Export
Antenna Magus seamlessly integrates with CST MWS. Users
can export fully parametric models of their designed antennas
into CST MWS where geometry modication, platform integra-
tion, optimization, sensitivity analysis and other design tasks
can be undertaken.
Knowledge management system
Engineers spend too much time redoing work that has already
been done, due to ineffective information management. Anten-
na Magus knowledge management system enables employees
to share and access existing knowledge and resources already
developed inside a working group.
The system is designed and tailored specically for antenna
information. Efcient information management affects the bot-
tom line of any company and ensures better results faster.
Utilities & tools
Antenna Magus provides tools & utilities that can be used to
simplify everyday antenna-related tasks.
These include designs and models of impedance transformers
and feed transitions, a exible array synthesis tool, an interac-
tive tool to help tracing or digitizing data from graph images
and many more.
