ANSI C63.5-2006 Workshop

There will be a “hands on” antenna calibration workshop describing the techniques contained in ANSI C63.5-2006 on July 6, 2007, two days before the start of the 2007 IEEE International Symposium on EMC in Honolulu, Hawaii. This workshop was first held in Portland, Oregon at Northwest EMC, just prior to the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on EMC. Based upon the success of that workshop, this year the venue will be at the University of Hawaii (on the island of Oahu, near Honolulu) using their EMC test facilities so students again can actually calibrate antennas typically used in EMC product compliance measurements. Registration will be available on the EMC 2007 web site (www.emc2007.org) as part of the advance program for the Hawaii Symposium. Participation is restricted due to space limitations. Register early if you want to participate in this state of the art workshop conducted by the three principle contributors to the ANSI standard C63.5-2006, namely Don Heirman of Don HEIRMAN Consultants, Dennis Camell of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Michael Windler of Underwriters Laboratories.
