Modern antenna range measurements
A plane-wave spectrum based approach
This new interactive online technical course will provide delegates with an understanding of modern near-field antenna range measurements. Topics covered include an introduction to antennas and antenna measurements, planar near-field measurements and theory, advanced antenna measurements, applications and more.
The course is led by Prof. Stuart Gregson, the lead author Principles of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements and co-author of Theory and Practice of Modern Antenna Range Measurements.
The registration fee for this course includes a complimentary copy of the 2nd edition of the IET text, Principles of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements.
What will the course cover?
During the course you can expect to:
- Learn the Fundamentals and Advance Antenna Measurement techniques
- Gain an understanding of the Planar Near-Field Theory from a measurement perspective
- Learn the theory and practice of Advanced antenna measurements, range assessments and error budgets
- Understand the practicalities of taking high quality measurements including selecting measurement type and measurement setup, choosing near-field probes, interpreting data
The course runs over three half-days from 2pm to 6pm, allowing delegates from the UK, Europe and North America to join virtually. Check the time of the event where you are online.
Also included in the course is the option to attend a technical visit to the Antennas Measurement Lab (AML) at Queen Mary University London on 1st December.

About the trainer
Prof. Stuart Gregson is FIET, FInstP, CEng, CPhys, has BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Portsmouth, and a PhD from Queen Mary University of London and is a Fellow of the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association.
He has been working in the field of antenna design and antenna measurement primarily for the space and aerospace industries for over 25 years.
From his time with: Airbus, Leonardo, NSI-MI and the UK’s National Physical Laboratory; Prof. Gregson has developed special experience with near-field antenna measurements, finite array mutual coupling, computational electromagnetics, installed antenna and performance prediction, compact antenna test range design and simulation, electromagnetic scattering, 5G OTA measurements and has published more than one hundred peer-reviewed research papers on these topics regularly contributing to and organising industrial courses on these subject areas.
Professor Gregson is the lead author of the research text Principles of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurement of which a 2nd expanded edition has recently been published.
Course delegates will receive a complimentary copy.
In 2022 he co-authored the IET Publication Theory and Practice of Modern Antenna Range Measurements, volume 1 and 2 which is now also in its 2nd edition.
Who should attend?
This course is ideal for researchers, practicing engineers and technicians who want to obtain a better understanding of antenna measurement concepts, theory, practice and techniques as well as anyone who has a need to acquire, use, or interpret antenna measurement data.
