The AMTA Boot Camp is a 1-day course on antenna and related measurement fundamentals. Live hands-on demonstrations complement the material presented. The Boot Camp is an ideal training opportunity for those new to the antenna and related measurements community and for those who would appreciate an update or “refresher” course on these topics. Instructors are industry experts who were selected based not only on their expertise, but for their ability to communicate effectively.
The AMTA Boot Camp Back-to-Basics Topics Include:
- General RF Measurements
- Material Measurements
- Antenna Measurements
- RCS Measurements
- EMC/EMI Measurements
Technical Goals and Objectives of the AMTA Boot Camp Include:
- Gain Basic Understanding of the AMTA-Relevant Measurement Systems and Associated Equipment
- Obtain Basic Understanding of the Theory and Physical Principles of each Measurement System
- Acquire Technical Vocabulary for each Measurement System
- Gain appreciation for similarities and differences of each Measurement System
- Establish appreciation for the Challenges/Applications that are Driving the Need for Each Measurement System
- Identify Common Themes in Each Measurement System (Calibration, Standards, Best Practices, Uncertainties, etc.)
