Announcement

Microwave Antenna Measurements

Four-Day Short Course

July 25–28, 2006

Los Angeles, CA

Course Description The course is an intensive study covering all aspects of the measurement of microwave antenna characteristics. Techniques for the determination of antenna radiation patterns, directivity, gain, polarization, and impedance are presented. The design, use, and evaluation of all capabilities used for antenna measurements are addressed, including: outdoor ranges, compact ranges, anechoic chambers, and all near-field scanning methods in current use. The concepts are illustrated by experimental results obtained from measured data. The course covers antenna measurements in the microwave and millimeter-wave frequency ranges and the instrumentation required for these measurements. Additional lectures address specialized topics of: phased-array testing and alignment, antenna diagnostic methods, synthetic aperture techniques, measurements of wireless antennas, and propagation of wireless signals.

FOR WHOM INTENDED Engineers, scientists, engineering managers and practicing antenna measurement technicians who need to quickly and thoroughly understand the principles of state-of-the-art antenna measurement techniques.

MI Staff Lecturers Among the lecturers are two members of the technical staff of MI Technologies: Dr. Donald Bodnar and Dr. Doren Hess. Attendees will have opportunities to meet individually with these experts along with participation in classroom discussions.

All of the short course lecturers are recognized experts in antenna measurements who have made important contributions to the development of the modern antenna measurement techniques derived from their experience in industrial, academic, and government settings.

Heritage This is the 37th offering of the course, which, for many years, has been presented at California State University, Northridge under the enduring leadership of Professor Edmund S. Gillespie.
