Theset of operations for an antenna calibration that establish the rel ationship between values of quantities indicated by a measuring instrument and a reference standard will be explained. Essential concepts will be re viewed\, such as metrology\, verification\, validation\, and accreditation . Case studies will be provided on these concepts to provide practical exa mples of the concepts as applicable in the real-world. Finally\, traceabil ity and measurement uncertainty will be discussed according to standards s uch as ANSI C63.5\, SAE ERP 958\, IEEE 291\, and CISPR 16-1-6. The present ation will conclude with a review of new antenna developments\, including tips on which antenna to use for what measurement application\, trade-offs in evaluating different antennas\, and the new "balance test" for biconil og antennas..\n\nSpeaker Bio: Doug Kramer is the Manager of the Calibratio n/EMC/Wireless Labs for ETS-Lindgren in Cedar Park\, Texas.
