Bruker Biospin Corporation is one of the world’s leading analytical instrumentation companies, and they use CAE for virtual prototyping and design optimization on sensors and antenna systems used in NMR spectrometers. 

Advances in hardware and software have enabled the simulation of the complete RF- portion of an antenna system.

Simulation of the full system is still computationally intensive although there are parallelization and scale-out techniques that can be applied depending on the particular “solver” method being used in the simulation. 

In this case study, CST Microwave Studio running on Amazon Web Services, has been used for the simulation of a multi-resonant antenna system.
