CST – Computer Simulation Technology has announced the acquisition of Aurora Software and testing, SL (AURORASAT), a technology leading provider of tools for the analysis, synthesis and design of passive microwave components. AURORASAT software products have been serving the RF and microwave industries for more than 10 years. FEST3D is a tool for the analysis and design of passive microwave components based on waveguide and coaxial cavity technology using advanced simulation algorithms for extremely low simulation times. Meanwhile, SPARK3D is the industry standard for the analysis of high power RF breakdown for space and ground applications.
The AURORASAT and CST teams will work closely together to combine the best of FEST3D and CST STUDIO SUITE technologies. They will explore synergies between their technologies and come up with a solution that will significantly benefit their customers. The AURORASAT team has a strong scientific background, which is key to solving challenging modeling problems and bringing innovative solutions to the market. Customers will benefit from this knowledge and the experience, which has been gathered through many years of developing software tools and consultancy. Moreover, the integration of SPARK3D with CST STUDIO SUITE technology will also allow for a better workflow and the offer of unique features that their customers will welcome.
Through this acquisition, CST will reinforce its commitment to delivering Complete Technology for 3DEM simulation, particularly to the microwaves and RF community. They will strengthen their position by providing an outstanding set of tools for the analysis of high-power breakdown effects such as multipaction and corona. AURORASAT will continue developing, supporting and selling their modelling tools, thus maintaining customer business continuity.
