AMTA 2023 - Regional Event - Seattle

The Program

This program was designed to bring the latest inspired technology to the local community as related to antenna design as well as antenna, EMC, and wireless test and measurement techniques for industry applications. Experts in industry and academia will share practical information on various topics in an extended presentation format. This allows a thorough discussion of each topic and provides the opportunity for extended questions and answers. The “hands-on” quality of the presentations enables the registrant to learn useful information that can be used on the job – in the “real world.”

The technical program spans 1.5 days.  Tuesday, April 11 is a full-day “colloquium” featuring several invited speakers and a tabletop show.  Many exhibitors will showcase their latest offerings in antenna and EMC related products and services on April 11; the day concludes with a networking reception. All attendees, exhibitors, and invited to attend and informally visit with the speakers and each other! 

Wednesday morning, April 12 is a half-day workshop with interactive presentations including demonstrations.

Back by popular demand, the renowned Professor Yahya Rahmat-Samii of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), IEEE Fellow, will provide a four-hour “mini short course” to begin the program on April 11.  He will discuss “The Art, Science and Engineering of Modern Antennas: Measurements from Marconi’s first Measurements to Today’s Amazing Advances.”

IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors Meeting and Standards Committee Meetings – You’re Invited! Immediately following the AMTA/IEEE event on April 11-12, 2023, the Standards Committee and Board of Directors of the IEEE EMC Society will meet at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington from the afternoon of April 12 through the morning of Friday, April 14.  These are open meetings and those with an interest in EMC Society activity and standards are invited to attend.  In particular, the Working Group for IEEE Standard 1309 on EMC Probe Calibration, will meet on Wednesday afternoon, April 12.  Those interested in more information about this meeting should contact the Working Group Chair, Zhong Chen, at zhong.chen@ets-lindgren.com.  Those interested in attending the Board of Directors meeting should contact Janet O’Neil at j.n.oneil@ieee.org. Please confirm your attendance to ensure adequate seating and catering are provided.
