Hello
I want to learn antenna design so I don't know much more about antenna designer software and where should I start.could you tell me
1-which software is the best(CST or HFSS)? and has more book and tutorial about it?
2-some good books that explain one of above software as well?

Thanks
 

you can use antenna magus for cst or design kit for hfss
 
Thank you ehsan_faal for your response
I want to practice a lot and work with a defined software and for step one I need to know which software is more accurate , practical and has good reference to learn fast.what do you suggest hfss or cst?and what books or tutorials?
 

i think hfss is more accurate than cst and if i want to suggest you a book ,i think "Balanis-Antenna Theory Analysis and Design" is a good book for begining
 
I have worked with both HFSS and CST and believe that for a beginner CST is more user friendly. CST also commonly implies less computational time.
From my experience both present similar simulation results, considering the mesh cells are well defined.

Regarding introductory books, just look at the documentation available in the software. You can find information there about the solvers and how to setup your design.
You also have several examples in both softwares you can use to practice.
 
Thank you dear Viper_ir
I want to work only a with defined software to improve my knowledge in Antenna Design and if I want to work more and be professional don't like to change my software.Now you suggest CST or HFSS?
 

Most companys use HFSS. CST is growing fast in users, but is still not the major design software used for antennas.

It really depends ... HFSS is very popular in their home country (USA) but over here in Europe we see lots of CST.
Back in the old times, when HFSS was known for its frequency solver and CST was known for its time domain solver, users made their choice based on the simulation method that works best for their problem. Today, both companies have a wide range of different EM solvers you can choose from, so both tools can handle most problems.
 
Hi friends,
Im in need of HFSS software to do my project.How can i get that software?Is there any freeware available?if No,how much it costs?Can anyone please help me?

Thanks in advance..
