Two-way link with CST STUDIO SUITE®

Customers who have both CST STUDIO SUITE® and Optenni Lab licenses can easily construct matching circuits in Optenni Lab using the impedance data calculated in CST and return the optimized matching circuits to CST in an easy, fast and transparent way. In brief, the procedure is as follows:

• In CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® use the command Macros->Matching Circuits->Optenni Lab to launch Optenni Lab using the simulated impedance data.
• In Optenni Lab analyze the impedance data (e.g. obtainable bandwidth) and generate optimized matching circuits.
• In Optenni Lab, right click on any of the generated circuits and select "Transfer circuit to CST" whereafter the circuit is constructed in CST as a CST DESIGN STUDIO™ block.

Using the integrated workflow the whole matching circuit optimization process only takes a few tens of seconds. After the matching circuit has been tranferred to CST the user can further analyze the original design, taking into account the effect of the matching circuit. For example, total efficiency through the matching circuit, near and far fields and SAR and HAC values can be computed as a postprocessing steps in CST DESIGN STUDIO™.
