ETS-Lindgren announced its technical and administrative contributions to the 2026 AMTA Regional Event scheduled for June 1 and 2 in Austin, Texas. The Technical Program on Monday, June 1, will feature experts in the antenna measurement community, including David R. Jackson with the University of Houston, who will present a mini short course on “Introduction to Leaky Waves and Leaky-Wave Antennas.” Zhong Chen, Chief Engineer with ETS-Lindgren, will present “Advancements in Antenna Far-Field Gain Extrapolation Calibration,” along with speakers from Maury Microwave, Next Phase Measurements, NSI-MI Technologies/Ametek, and The Boeing Company.

The June 1 event will also include a tabletop technical exhibition of companies providing products and services for antenna measurement, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), wireless, and radio frequency/microwave industries. The event will take place at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center on the University of Texas at Austin campus.

On Tuesday, June 2, the Technical Program will continue with a half-day workshop, “Innovative Solutions to Real-World Measurement Challenges,” at ETS-Lindgren in Cedar Park, Texas. The workshop will include presentations from Zhong Chen and Dennis Lewis, Technical Fellow with The Boeing Company, along with live demonstrations using EMC test chambers.

The workshop will include updates on industry standards including IEEE 149 (Recommended Practice for Antenna Measurements), ANSC C63® (Validation Methods for Radiated Emission Test Sites across multiple frequency ranges), and IEEE 1309 (Calibration of Electromagnetic Field Sensors and Probes from 9 kHz to 40 GHz). Attendees will also review techniques for managing and evaluating large measurement data sets.

“With today’s dramatically increased computational software and hardware capabilities, collecting measurement data has never been faster or easier,” said Mr. Chen. “Thousands of data sets can be collected, but how does one manage this data realistically and evaluate it effectively? This has opened the door for new and novel techniques to evaluate the performance of the test environment as well as improve data post-processing. We’ll examine these techniques during the Workshop,” he added.

The workshop will conclude with live demonstrations including “Test Site Measurements using Orthogonal Time and Mode Domain Transformation” by Mr. Chen and “Reverberation Chamber Stirring Techniques and Antenna Effects” by Mr. Lewis.

“We’re thrilled to support the 2026 AMTA Regional Event as it’s a way to connect with the local antenna measurement community before the AMTA 2026 Annual Meeting and Symposium, which will be held from November 1 to 6 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Austin,” said Joel Kellogg, Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing with ETS-Lindgren, and Chair of the AMTA Symposium Organizing Committee. “ETS-Lindgren values the numerous technical contributions made by AMTA members toward advancing antenna measurement technology over the organization’s nearly 50-year history. We are proud to support the Regional Event and host the Annual Symposium. In fact, this year marks the third time ETS-Lindgren has hosted AMTA’s Annual Meeting and Symposium – we’ve hosted in 2006, 2016, and now in 2026. Many of my ETS-Lindgren colleagues have been involved in supporting all three Symposiums! With our veteran team, you can count on ETS-Lindgren to organize top-notch events. We look forward to seeing you at our regional and international AMTA activities this year,” he enthused.
