A fast, user-friendly mode-matching analysis, synthesis and optimization (EM) CAD tool for passive waveguide components and antennas.
µWave Wizard utilizes the most advanced field theory method for this class of application: The efficient Mode-Matching method, the fast hybrid MM/Boundary-Contour and the MM/Finite-Element method; providing it with high accuracy and enormous speed.
µWave Wizard excels at easy-to-use for space determination of arbitrary component structures with exact prediction of responses, coupled with flexibility and openness.

| |
| Library |
| µWave Wizard consists of full-wave mode-matching building blocks (so far, more than 180 elements), such as steps including rounded corners, irises, rectangular and circular posts, T-junctions, transitions, corners, cross-junctions, y-junctions, mitered bends, slot irises with rounded corners, ridged and waffle iris sections, probes, OMT, broadband OMT, magic-T, twist, stepped t-junction and corners, radiation element etc. |
| |
| Synthesis |
| The µWave Wizard includes a built-in user friendly filter and taper synthesis wizard. The output of the Filter Wizard is a complete self generated schematic with all required properties for an analysis or a subsequent fine optimization. |
| |
| Optimization |
| µWave Wizard includes different kinds of optimizers for any user defined goal functions. The user directly adds his requirements and specifications into the optimization panel. Self defined variables allow customized optimizations and can even be modified during the on going process. The GUI continuously shows the output during computation, i.e. the optimization error and the visualization of the actual scattering parameters. |
| |
| Yield Analysis |
The new yield optimizer allows a yield driven tolerance analysis in given tolerances for any designs. This feature is helpful tool to determine the sensitivity of any design of components.
NTL-3D Viewer The NTL-3D viewer shows any of the Microwave Wizard schematics and netlist files. The viewer has no limitations regarding modules, structures and the number of ports. It supports the design of even the most complicated components, especially if coordinate systems of the key-building models would usually confuse the design. The export to STL and DXF allows a post processing for any 3-D solver.
|
| |
| Integrated VBA Macro Editor |
| The new COM-based API and the integrated VBA like macro language allow a seamless mergence of in-house synthesis tools and the µWav Wizard. Also the µWave Wizard can be controlled by any software which include COM capability such as Visual BasicR, Visual C++R, ExcelR, etc. |
| |
| Antenna Plug-in |
| The radiation module allows the computation of the far and near field patterns of radiating circuits. The patters are computed for a single mode of excitation of the entire circuit for arbitrary numbers of frequency points at an arbitrary port. The mode of excitating can be chosen from all accessible modes at that port. He field patters are computed from the spherical wave coefficients of the radiation element at a fixed radius. |
| |
| Field Computation |
| The field calculation plug-in of the µWave Wizard is introduced for the visualization of the electric and magnetic fields at critical parts inside waveguide circuits and structures. From the output of the field plots the user can estimate the power handling capabilities of filters and transitions and thus eases the CAD of high-power microwave devices. |
| |
| Interactive Tune |
| The interactive tuner allows to tune the component in the project like it is usually done with screws on a workbench. Each analysis of a tune step becomes very fast especially when the elements are buffered. |
