Darmstadt, Germany, and Champaign, IL, February 8, 2013, CST - Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) and Delcross Technologies (Delcross) have signed a distribution agreement to make CST the authorized reseller of EMIT and Savant.

CST and Delcross are pleased to announce that Delcross Technologies’ EMIT (Electromagnetic Interference Toolkit) and Savant are now available world-wide through all CST sales channels. The software will be fully supported by CST’s skilled team of electromagnetic specialists.

EMIT analyzes multi-antenna platforms and predicts cosite interference between RF systems attached to the antennas. EMIT is able to take output data directly from CST STUDIO SUITE® and, along with other data such as parametric radio models or actual measurements, build up a complete system-level picture of potential interference problems. Once the system has been simulated, strategies for mitigating interference effects can be explored within the software.

Montreal, Canada, June 19, 2012, CST – Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) and Nuhertz Technologies, LLC® (Nuhertz) present a new integrated filter design flow at MTT-S IMS 2012.

Filter design is a challenging task in electrical engineering that can be greatly simplified by the use of filter synthesis tools such as FilterSolutions™ by Nuhertz. FilterSolutions provides instant, accurate filter designs in various media including Distributed Line, Lumped Element, Digital and Active filters. Users are presented initially with a set of solutions that meet the transfer functions of the filter circuit. The designer can then select the most appropriate function, taking the required design characteristics such as size, materials or layout limitations into consideration. The real-world calculation of parasitic responses can also be considered.

Orlando, FL, 2 April 2012, Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and Delcross Technologies (Delcross) will be demonstrating initial integration and capabilities for cosite interference solutions at DoD Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Program Review, booths # 21 and 22.

Realistic environments containing multiple aggressors (transmitters) and multiple victims (receivers) pose significant engineering challenges with respect to cosite interference. In order to predict cosite interference accurately, a large number of contributing factors have to be taken into account. In particular, the RF performance characteristics of each transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) as well as the wideband coupling/isolation between all antennas must be considered in order to identify and eliminate undesired interference between systems.
