Whether you’re a beginner or an expert in antenna design and simulation, AN-SOF is the ideal software for you.

If you’re new to antenna simulation, AN-SOF offers a user-friendly interface combined with unparalleled accuracy, allowing you to quickly enter the world of antenna simulation. We recommend starting with our Quick Start Guide, which provides a step-by-step overview of antenna simulation using the Method of Moments.

For experienced users, our comprehensive Knowledge Base provides in-depth descriptions of AN-SOF’s features and functions. Explore numerous examples and articles that validate AN-SOF’s results through comparisons with theoretical and experimental data. Additionally, our blog Antennas and Beyond! offers advanced articles for readers with a more in-depth background.

If you’re interested in antenna theory and numerical methods applied to Computational Electromagnetics, our blog categories Antenna Theory and Numerical Methods will provide valuable insights.

Furthermore, AN-SOF allows you to program scripts in the language of your choice to generate a sequence of files containing descriptions of an antenna model with variable geometric parameters. You can then run a massive calculation of all these files using the Run Bulk Simulation command. Explore examples of scripts in the language of Scilab, the open-source counterpart of the renowned Matlab, at this link.
