Recent Advancements in Measurement Uncertainty Workshop

Workshop Abstract: Any kind of measurement, particularly when carried out for scientific or professional purposes, requires consideration of inherent measurement errors. Evaluation of measurement uncertainty in electromagnetic compatibility and antenna characterization applications is the common thread that connects the presentations in this workshop. Sophisticated data processing techniques and novel measurement methods are presented aiming at enhancing the accuracy of electromagnetic field measurements with specific reference to errors induced by the measuring environment (reverberation chambers and anechoic chambers), robotic positioning systems, and a model-based system engineering approach to understand contributions from various sources of uncertainties. This program is designed to apply to general EMC and Antenna Measurements. Speakers will actively encourage questions in order to better educate attendees on the importance of addressing measurement uncertainity.
