Mician

What Mician does

Mician GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Bremen that develops µWave Wizard™, a full-wave 3D electromagnetic design automation suite used by RF/microwave engineers to design passive microwave components and systems. The software's core differentiator is a proprietary hybrid solver that combines the flexibility of the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the speed and accuracy of Mode-Matching (MM), enabling parametric composition and optimization of complex structures such as filters, diplexers, couplers, orthomode transducers, feed horns, and reflector antennas. The core platform is extended by 19 add-on modules covering synthesis (filter, taper, lowpass, interdigital, horn antenna), analysis (adaptive frequency sweep, yield, resonance, field, radiation, time domain), optimization, interactive tuning, modeling, batch processing, and a 2D BOR FEM module, plus a third-party add-on from DGS Associates, LLC.

Mician sells µWave Wizard™ under a one-time license model — pricing is not publicly disclosed. The product is distributed globally through a combination of direct sales (a wholly-owned US subsidiary, Mician, Inc., in Redondo Beach, CA), regional channel partners covering China, Israel, Italy, Japan, Turkey, and Scandinavia, and the Altair Partner Alliance ecosystem which Mician joined on April 29, 2020. The customer base is concentrated in enterprises designing passive microwave hardware across telecommunications (Alcatel-Lucent, Panasonic, SIAE Microelettronica), satellite communications (ViaSat, Thales Alenia Space), defense/aerospace (L3Harris), and microwave component manufacturing (Custom Microwave Inc., RYMSA, MEG Ltd), with several customers reporting ten-year-plus usage tenures. The company is managed by three co-founding Managing Directors (Dr.-Ing. Ralf Beyer, Dr.-Ing. Peter Krauss, Dr.-Ing. Thomas Sieverding) with a headcount of 1-10 employees and no disclosed external investors.
