This new interactive online training course will provide delegates with an understanding of modern near-field antenna range measurements.

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.

Topics covered include an introduction to antennas and antenna measurements, planar near-field measurements and theory, advanced antenna measurements, applications and more.

The course focuses on the practicalities of antenna measurements, asking what do we want to measure and how do we do it. This approach will enable you to apply your learning to your own contexts back in the office.

The course runs over three half-days from 2.30pm to 6.30pm GMT, allowing delegates from the UK, Europe, and North America to join virtually.
