ANSI

This workshop is presented in three parts over a two day period: (1) review of the 2009 edition of ANSI C63.4 (now accepted by the FCC for use), (2) review of ANSI C63.5-2006 and proposed changes for the next edition and (3) application of TD for test site validation and antenna calibration. These workshops are designed to increase your understanding of these standards and the TD approach. For the C63.4 workshop, there will be an analysis of the test site validation including using the CISPR SVSWR method or arranging absorber material on the ground plane for use above 1 GHz. The C63.5 portion of the second workshop will lead the user through the document, highlighting which technique should be used based on the type of antenna being calibrated and how it is changed from the 1988 and 1998 editions. This is essential to ensure that the right antenna factor is obtained, especially when validating semi-anechoic chambers. Proposed application of the same TD method to validating test sites will also be presented. As time permits, attendees will get a chance to apply what they learned by solving real world applications.
