DESCRIPTION:The Connecticut Power Electronics Soceity (PELS) and joint chap
 ter on Antennas and Propagation\, Microwave Theory and Techniques\, and Ul
 trasonics\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control are pleased to bring yo
 u an exciting webinar presented by Charlotte Blair and Brian Walker on ant
 enna simulation and measurement. Topics such as measurement fundamentals w
 ith a VNA are discussed as well as topics such as measuring gains and shie
 lding effectiveness.\n\nCharlotte Blair of Ansys will begin the event by p
 resenting on the key considerations when simulating antennas.\n\nBrian Wal
 ker of Copper Mountain Technologies will present on the theory and technic
 al considerations when making measurements with a VNA.\n\nSpeaker(s): Bria
 n Walker\, Charlotte Blair\n\nAgenda: \nJohn Noon\, chair of the CT PELS c
 hapter will begin the webinar with brief opening remarks.\n\nCharlotte Bla
 ir of Ansys and chair of the CT APP/MTT/UFFC chapter will then present on 
 the challenges and key considerations when simulating antennas.\n\nThen\, 
 Brian Walker of Copper Mountain Technologies will present on the topic of 
 antenna measurements. Brian&#39;s presentation outline is as follows:\n\n- Com
 mon Antenna Parameters\n- Radiation Pattern\n- Gain\n- Near and Far Fields
 \n- Impedance\n- Bandwidth\n\n- The VNA measurement device\n- What is it?\
 n- How does it work?\n- Why do we need it?\n\n- Measuring Antenna Gain\n- 
 Ref Antenna\n- Three Antenna method\n\n- Near and Far Fields\n- Return Los
