The EurAAP Working Group on Antenna Measurements: Highlights over Two Decades

Over the past two decades, many measurement facilities have been involved in various international comparison campaigns led and supported by the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) working group (WG) on measurements (WG5). Its activities cover various areas of antenna measurements. These activities play an important role for the documentation and validation of laboratory proficiency and competence, helping to improve the antenna measurement procedures/protocols in facilities and standards such as ISO 17025, IEEE 149, IEEE 1720. The analysis and data elaboration have promoted discussions among the antenna measurement community experts and have led to modernization of comparison techniques. This paper highlights some selected EurAapWg5 activities including, for example, international antenna measurement intercomparisons, self-assessment measurements of facilities, outreach collaborations and outcome disseminations (e.g., revisions of international standards for antenna measurements).
