Since antennas are becoming increasingly important due to the continued ra pid advances in wireless technology and autonomous vehicles\, to name a fe w applications\, an understanding of antenna behavior and performance is e ssential to efficiently design new products as well as correctly evaluate product performance. The following speakers will separately discuss the im pact of many of the antenna fundamentals on the practical application of a ntennas\, with an emphasis on modeling\, measurements\, and applications o n test site evaluations. To conclude the meeting\, attendees will learn ab out innovative and emerging antenna technologies for the modern world.\n\n Our first presentation will be given by our keynote speaker\, Professor St uart Gregson\, who will present "Application of Electromagnetic Simulation and Post Processing in Modern Antenna Metrology."\n\nAbstract: Accurate a nd precise measurement is an indispensable constituent of research\, desig n\, and development with this being especially true in the field of modern electromagnetic and antenna systems. In this talk we shall consistently e mploy the concept of Computational Electromagnetic (CEM) simulation of the measurement and highlight the use of a range of simulation tools in the d evelopment of several varied antenna measurement techniques including evol utionary optimization of compact antenna test ranges for 5GNR applications \, development and implementation of novel near-field to far-field (NF/FF) transformation techniques for industrial multi-axis and un-tethered drone measurements including examining novel phase recovery algorithms. The tal k will show that these CEM models are not only used to develop\, verify\, and validate the measurement systems themselves\, but they are also being harnessed to effectively test the underlying measurement techniques and po st-processing algorithms where\, crucially\, individual error components m ay be conveniently\, and precisely\, examined.\n\nStuart Gregson has more than twenty five years of experience working in the space\, aerospace and communications sectors and is currently Director of Operations and Researc h at Next Phase Measurements\, and an honorary visiting professor in the S chool of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary Univers ity of London. He received his BSc degree in Physics in 1994 and his MSc d egree in Microwave Solid State Physics in 1995 both from the University of Portsmouth. He received his PhD degree in 2003 from Queen Mary University of London with near-field antenna measurements and statistical pattern re cognition as his main subject areas. From his time with: Airbus\, Leonardo \, NSI-MI\, and the National Physical Laboratory\, Prof. Gregson has devel oped special experience with near-field antenna measurements\, finite arra y mutual coupling\, computational electromagnetics\, installed antenna and radome performance prediction\, compact antenna test range design & simul ation\, electromagnetic scattering\, 5G OTA measurements and has published numerous peer-reviewed research papers on these topics regularly contribu ting to and organizing industrial courses on these subject areas. At the e nd of 2007 he was the lead author of the research text Principles of Plana r Near-Field Antenna Measurements which is now in its 2nd edition\, and in 2014 he co-authored a second text\, Theory and Practice of Modern Antenna Range Measurements now also in its 2nd edition. He is a Fellow of the Ant enna Measurement Techniques Association\, a Fellow of the Institution of E ngineering and Technology\, a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and is a chartered Engineer and Physicist. In 2018\, Prof. Gregson was elected to t he to the AMTA Board of Directors where he served first as Treasurer\, the n as Vice President.\n\nThe next two presentations will be given by Distin guished Lecturers of the IEEE EMC Society\, Zhong Chen and Dennis Lewis. Y ou can read their presentation titles\, abstracts and biographies below.\n \nThe event concludes with an interactive panel session with the speakers. Join us!
