As technologies for wireless communications, including 5G and Internet of Things (IoT), require more complex antennas, practitioners need more information on the best methods to perform measurements on these different types of antennas. This exciting resource provides guidance on the proper design of indoor ranges for RF antenna measurements. The important aspects of specifying the range or resources needed in a development program are explored. Analysis of existing ranges to determine their suitability for performing specific test that a user of the range may require is also introduced. Readers find in-depth coverage of the design of ranges and how to evaluate the error contributions of the range and the best approach to measure a system, antenna, or other radiating hardware. The book provides information on selecting the right range to make a specific type of measurement and understanding for an RF absorber. Matlab scripts are also included to help readers estimate the performance of an RF absorber. Readers will be able to estimate the required space for a given type of measurement, as well as identify what type of range is the better choice, based on physical limitations and economics. Simple rules for the design of an anechoic chamber, based on the required accuracy and parameters to be measured are described. Packed with examples and references, this book is a prime reference for any practitioner that uses or designs facilities for the measurement of electromagnetic energy.

The URSI Register is a comprehensive and up to date survey of National Standards Laboratories, the types of measurements they can make, their results and other relevant information. The register consists of an entry for each National Laboratory, usually in the following format: organisation, national standards, calibration facilities. THe coverage of electromagnetic metrology is comprehensive and includes measurements of time and frequency, of DC and LF electrical and magnetic quantities, and of radio and microwave frequencies with extensions where appropriate to infrared and optical frequencies. The register will be an invaluable source of information in Government laboratories and universities for those who work in the field of electromagnetic metrology. It will also be especially useful for industrial laboratories where this type of information is increasingly required to take advantage of export opportunities.

This volume provides a comprehensive introduction and explanation of both the theory and practice of all forms of modern antenna measurements, electromagnetic theory, antenna coupling, compact range measurements, near-field antenna measurements, mobile and body-centric antenna measurements.
