CST Studio SuiteĀ® electromagnetic field simulation software offers accurate and efficient computational solutions for electromagnetic designs. Through multiphysics simulation, the electrical, magnetic, thermal and mechanical characteristics of low-interference magnetrons can be tested with the reduced need for prototyping and experimentation. The white paper titled, 'A Multiphysics Approach to Magnetron and Microwave Oven Design', demonstrates how CST STUDIO SUITE and its range of solvers can be used for optimized magnetron design in.
There are a number. For circuit up to some system level, ADS and AWR's Microwave Office are the biggest and best, ADS the biggest and most expensive. There are some alternatives that'll do parts of what ADS and MWO do, often as options from other companies. ANSYS Designer is similar to a light ADS, and CST Design Studio is like a nigh-nonexistent ADS.
Microwave Studio can do most/all of what ADS can, but with some differences in models (ADS has some of the better measurement-based FET models thanks to Root working there). MWO is cheaper but still spendy.For full EM, depends on the algorithm which depends on the type of problem you're trying to solve. ANSYS HFSS is the biggest FEM simulator, probably the widest use for antennas and things that are best in frequency domain. CST Microwave Studio is probably the biggest competitor to HFSS: it has a frequency domain FEM which is similar to HFSS but lacking some features, as well as a time domain that works well with GPU acceleration for some problems. For MoM problems, FEKO is probably the biggest. COMSOL is dedicated multiphysics, but absolutely awful for 3D EM type problems - it's very powerful for researchy and 2D stuff but pretty much unusable for 3D. HFSS is easily the most expensive, but CST is also pretty pricy.
I haven't needed a quote for FEKO in quite a while so no idea what the pricing is for that.There still isn't a great package that really integrates fullwave 3D and circuit-level nonlinear effects, though a couple startups are trying. The big companies also have a number of related/possibly useful products. If you're doing more baseband stuff, ADS integrates with SystemVue for that, and MWO does something similar. Keysight now also has a 3D fullwave solver that I played with for a bit, but it seemed awful (EMPro).tl;dr the leading RF programs:For circuit to some system level sims, ADS and AWR Microwave OfficeFor 3D, ANSYS HFSS (FEM, frequency domain), CST Microwave Studio (FEM/FD, FIT/TD), FEKO (MoM).

Trust me I love serum. It really has become my main synth. But for me at least with the music that I am producing, my built in synth can accomplish almost everything that I want. Only wished I gave them more time in the beginning rather than spending $189 on a synth. But everything is up to personal preference. I find it a lot easier to create a sound I want with serum rather than polysynth ( Bitwig built in synth) but that I feel is mostly due to knowledge of the actual synth. No not really a direct alternative to Serum but there are other decent free synths to start with.
As others said start with whatever comes with your DAW. After that I'd recommend TAL-Noisemaker.
It's a fantastic free synth to learn about subtractive synthesis. Subtractive uses a different method to create the sound than Serum does - Serum is a Wavetable synth.Either way though as a new producer a subtractive synth is a pretty good starting point to learn about synthesis. Start with your DAW synth and this one:After you've spent a few months with your DAW synth and Serum then look into Serum's Lease to Own program. You pay just $10 a month until you've paid it off, then you own Serum.!.
