Antenna Magus Professional 2019.1 version 9.1.0

Magus (Pty) Ltd. and CST – Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) announce the release of Antenna Magus 2019.1, the latest version of the leading antenna design tool. This release includes 3 new antennas as well as various other extensions and improvements.

2019.1 – Release date: 4 January 2019
New Antennas, Tools, Libraries and Extensions
– The Series-fed 3 by 3 Rectangular Patch Array. [MAGUS-26083]
– The Printed Multilayer Dipole Array. [MAGUS-26567]
– The Stacked Square-Ring Pin-Fed Patch Antenna. [MAGUS-26941]
– Toolbox calculators for transmission lines. [MAGUS-26749]
– The UFL Connector. [MAGUS-26915]
– Multilayer keyword has been added to allow searching for antennas with more than one dielectric. [MAGUS-26768]
New Features, Extensions and Improvements
– Information document for array operators are now scrollable using the mouse wheel. [MAGUS-26823]
– Default values are now shown immidiately when adding array operators. [MAGUS-26836]
– Capacitance, Inductance-per-meter and radians have been added as supported unit types. [MAGUS-26986]
Bug Fixes
– An error in the indication of Hd in the right side view of the Dielectric-loaded folded half-loop has been fixed. [AMB-2892]
– The bounding box for the Offset pattern-fed Gregorian reflector antenna was incorrect for some parameters sets. This has been fixed. [AMB-2897]
– The data for the phi=0 cut in the zoomed 2D Farfield chart of Offset pattern-fed Cassegrain reflector antenna was too wide for the intended graph. This has been fixed. [AMB-2903]
– Messages for applied array operators now show with mouse hover. [MAGUS-26837]
– If an Array Operator could not be applied the relevant messages weren’t displayed. This has been fixed. [AMB-2857]
– Objectives that weren’t used by Antenna Magus for a design are now indicated as ‘Not Used’. [AMB-1210]
– In Find Mode, the display ordering of the matched keywords has been improved. [AMB-1239]
– Keyword hint text from Find Mode was visible on the Start Page. This has been fixed. [AMB-2607]
– The Axis of a 3D preview were partially hidden at certain rotations. This has been fixed. [AMB-2762]
– The spacing between images and their captions have been adjusted to improve readabiliy in Articles. [AMB-2852]
– In some cases if the trace visibility was disabled for a design, the trace remained visible even if another design was selected. This has been fixed. [AMB-2804]
– When changing from an enabled specification to disabling the specification in design mode a crash occured if the the reference design was the last design to be deleted. [AMB-2879]
– Substrates showed a warning regarding DRE(Design Range Extrapolation) even though substrates do not have extrapolation ranges. This has been fixed. [AMB-2880]
– Element patterns were not correctly applied to editable arrays. This has been fixed. [AMB-2896]
– The Export Distribution Matrix (Wavelength) button did not activate correctly. This has been fixed. [AMB-2899]
– Model Preview Format Tab was not selectable in certain cases. This has been fixed. [AMB-2860]
– Generating a CST model from an empty model in Custom templates caused errors when opening the model in CST 2019. This has been fixed. [AMB-2911]
– History tree in the CST export model of the MbyN patch array failed. This has been fixed. [CST-54284]
– Some devices had issues where the 3D Preview never updated or performance estimation never finished. This has been fixed. [AMB-2913]
– In some cases, Performance estimation of the Pattern-fed cassegrain reflector antenna may have failed to show 3D far-field results. This has been fixed. [CST-56274]
– In some cases the exported Near Field Source (NFS) was incorrect due to an internal error in its bounding box position. This has been fixed.
About Antenna Magus. Antenna Magus is a software tool to help accelerate the antenna design and modelling process. It increases efficiency by helping the engineer to make a more informed choice of antenna element, providing a good starting design. Validated antenna models can be exported to CST MICROWAVE STUDIO from a huge antenna database which means that the engineer can get to the customisation phase of an antenna design quickly and reliably.
Antenna Magus has proven to be an invaluable aid to antenna design engineers and anyone who requires antenna models for antenna placement and/or electromagnetic interference studies.
