2025 AMTA Webinar: The Tapered Chamber (Dec. 18)

Dr. Vince Rodriguez attended The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and obtained his B.S.E.E. in 1994, and his M.S. and Ph.D degrees, both in engineering science with an emphasis in electromagnetics, in 1996 and 1999, respectively.

Dr. Rodriguez joined EMC Test Systems (now ETS-Lindgren) as an RF and electromagnetics engineer in June 2000. In this position, he was involved in e-field generator design and the RF design of several anechoic chambers, including rectangular and tapered antenna pattern measurement chambers operating from 100MHz to 40GHz and the anechoic design for the large chamber at INPE’s LIT. In September 2004, Dr. Rodriguez was promoted to senior principal antenna design engineer with responsibilities in developing new antennas for different applications and improving on the existing antenna line. During this period, he introduced the concept of the open-boundary quad-ridged horn at AMTA in 2005. In November 2024 he joined MI Technologies (now NSI-MI Technologies) as senior applications engineer. He is currently manager of EM Analysis Group.

Dr. Rodriguez is the author of more than 30 journal publications and over 70 conference papers. He is the author of a book on anechoic chamber design and has authored chapters in two other books. He is a senior member of the IEEE; an EMC Society member, where he served as distinguished lecturer from 2013 to 2014 and on the IEEE-EMC Board of Directors. Dr. Rodriguez also served as secretary in the IEEE AP-S Standards Committee and as secretary for the IEEE STD 149 and IEEE STD 1128 Working Groups and co-chair for the IEEE STD 1720 Working Group. Dr. Rodriguez is a fellow of the Applied Computational Electromagnetic Society (ACES). He is a Fellow of the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) and a distinguished achievement award winner of AMTA. He is currently distinguished speaker of AMTA. In 2025 he received the IEEE Standard’s Association Medallion for contributions to the revisions of several standards related to antennas and propagation.
