Antenna Magus is a program that designs antennas for you. 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. Antenna Magus describes each antenna in a well summarised document or "info doc" outlining basic specifications, adavantages and disadvantages of the antennas that might be worth considering for the design. It would become apparent that the Printed four arm sinuous antenna is more suitable for wide band reflector applications where narrow -10dB beamwidths are not required. Although there are many utilities freely available on the internet, these free tools do not typically provide detailed information on their methods and limitations or technical support. This means that they have to be used with care. Antenna Magus utilities are carefully tested and can be used with confidence. Errors introduced by these unreliable tools are hard to isolate and costly to fix later in the design process.
