With this major version 4.0 release, Antenna Magus has crossed the 200 antenna mark – a significant number of antenna designs –  further entrenching the product as the world’s leading antenna design tool.

The IMS 2012 Women in Microwaves reception will be held on Tuesday, June 19, 17:30-19:30, at Museum of Archeology and History of Montréal (Pointe-à-Callière - point in the Old Port named after the third governor of Montréal, Chevalier Louis Hector de Callière, who had his house built on this very location in 1688). The museum opened its doors in 1992, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the city. It reveals remarkable findings of archeological digs which started in 1980. They display the evidence of human activity on this location for the last one thousand years. The reception will be held in the Restaurant L'Arrivage, located on the top floor of the museum. Glass-walled, the venue offers spectacular views of the Old Port.
