CST Studio Suite

CST Studio Suite

CST Studio Suite® is a high-performance 3D EM analysis software package for designing, analyzing and optimizing electromagnetic (EM) components and systems.Electromagnetic field solvers for applications across the EM spectrum are contained within a single user interface in CST Studio Suite. The solvers can be coupled to perform hybrid simulations, giving engineers the flexibility to analyze whole systems made up of multiple components in an efficient and straightforward way.

Antenna Magus

Antenna Magus is a software tool to help accelerate the antenna design and modeling 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 Studio Suite from a huge antenna database of over 330 antennas, which means that the engineer can get to the customization phase of an antenna design quickly and reliably.

Fest3D

Fest3D is a software tool capable of analyzing complex passive microwave components based on waveguide and coaxial cavity technology in very short computational times with high accuracy. This suite offers all the capabilities needed for the design of passive components such as optimization and tolerance analysis. Moreover, Fest3D advanced synthesis tools allow designing bandpass, dual-mode and lowpass filters from user specifications.

Idem

Idem is a user friendly tool for the generation of macromodels of linear lumped multi-port structures (e.g., via fields, connectors, packages, discontinuities, etc.), known from their input-output port responses. The raw characterization of the structure can come from measurement or simulation, either in frequency domain or in time domain. A suite of advanced and well conditioned rational fitting modules grants applicability to virtually any kind of characterization.

Spark3D

Spark3D is a unique simulation tool for determining the RF breakdown power level in a wide variety of passive devices, including those based on cavities, waveguides, microstrip and antennas. Field results from CST Studio Suite® simulations can be imported directly into Spark3D to analyze vacuum breakdown (multipactor) and gas discharge. From this, Spark3D calculates the maximum power that the device can handle without causing discharge effects.

Opera

Opera Simulation Software is a Finite Element Analysis software suite which allows users to perform simulations of electromagnetic (EM) and electromechanical systems in 2 and 3 dimensions. Opera includes dedicated 2D and 3D pre- and post-processing environments for problem definition and results analysis. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) gives access to features that have been specifically tailored for electromagnetics and multi-physics design, which is extremely useful for the design of magnets, electric motors and other electrical machines.

What is WASP-NET?

WASP-NET® stands for Waveguide and Antenna Synthesis Program for Networks. WASP-NET helps you to get extraordinary time-saving benefits for your professional electromagnetic (EM) CAD designs and optimizations while not compromising full-wave accuracy and general 3D structure flexibility.

High design efficiency and fast product output are increasingly mission-critical for microwave, antenna, space and communication industries. Our hybrid EM CAD and optimization tool, WASP-NET, helps reduce time to market through high simulation and optimization efficiency and accuracy.

Optimization Efficiency

Engineers can use WASP-NET to complete design tasks quickly through direct, fast and accurate full-wave overall EM optimization. The simulation speed of WASP-NET enables full design space exploration through a high number of optimization iterations in a short time. It enables the rapid solution of challenging design problems.

Solver Technology

The hybrid multi-solver technology of WASP-NET uniquely combines mode-matching (MM) speed with finite-element (FE) flexibility and method-of-moment (MoM) radiation computation efficiency, accelerated by domain-decomposition method (DDM), fast multipole method (FMM), adaptive integral method (AIM), adaptive cross-evaluation (ACE), iterative physical optics (IPO), and physical theory of diffraction (PTD).

Benefits for users are high calculation speed, complete 3D structure flexibility and full-wave accuracy for efficiently optimizing all passive microwave components, antennas and arrays, including feed-networks, directly on rigorous EM level. Market leaders worldwide have acknowledged WASP-NET for over 25 years for solving challenging EM design problems with fast optimizations.

WASP-NET Applications Areas

WASP-NET has design and simulation capabilities in several areas of microwave and RF design

Waveguide Structures

Engineers can efficiently apply WASP-NET to the design and optimization of Waveguide components, such as filters, couplers, diplexers, multiplexers, polarizers, ortho-mode transducers (OMTs), dielectric resonators, and circulators. It enables the processing of large portions of the waveguide structures by the quasi-analytical mode-matching (MM) technique and uses 3D EM only for those parts, which MM cannot handle.

Antennas with Feed Networks

WASP-NET offers a wide range of simulation methods for radiating elements. These methods are the method-of-moments (MoM) in form of advanced algorithms, such as the adaptive integral method (AIM), the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM), and the domain decomposition method (DDM).

Complete feed-networks (such as OMTs, polarizers, …) can directly be integrated in the antenna design and optimization process achieving the optimum overall performance and unprecedented accuracy in a minimum of time.

Antenna Arrays

WASP-NET includes a powerful array tool, which allows analyzing and optimizing antenna arrays. It uses both the fast Floquet mode algorithm (infinite array extension, “periodic boundary”) and the rigorous domain-decomposition method (DDM), which takes the finite extension of the array into account.

Designer Data Base

WASP-NET includes a comprehensive designer database with more than 500 pre-optimized design examples of practically all types of microwave and antenna structures and components.

The design examples serve as convenient and user-friendly templates for your own fast advanced designs. Just scale a selected template to your required frequency range and modify the template when necessary. Then optimize the template to your specifications with WASP-NET’s powerful optimizers and benefit from WASP-NET’s high optimization speed.

Design Wizards

WASP-NET includes user-friendly design wizards for various application areas, such as different types of filters, antennas and arrays: From specs to rigorous EM-based results within minutes.
