Antennas Propagation
The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) is one of the leading societies in the areas of antennas and propagation and supports standards widely used in industry.
Popular IEEE Antennas and Propagation are:
1. IEEE 145-2013: This standard defines terms related to antennas. It’s crucial for ensuring consistent terminology across the field, helping engineers, researchers, and developers communicate effectively.
2. IEEE 149-1979 (Reaffirmed in 2008): This standard covers the measurement techniques for antennas. It provides guidelines for measuring the radiation patterns, gain, and polarization of antennas, ensuring accuracy and consistency in measurements.
3. IEEE 1128-1998 (Reaffirmed in 2014): This standard addresses the methods for measuring the radio-frequency (RF) performance of antennas in wireless communications. It includes guidelines for evaluating antenna characteristics such as gain, efficiency, and polarization.
4. IEEE 145-1993: This earlier version of IEEE 145 defines methods and terms used for the measurement of antennas and radar cross-sections (RCS). It’s important for standardizing the approaches to antenna measurement, particularly in the context of radar systems.
5. IEEE C95.1-2019: Though more focused on safety, this standard is related to electromagnetic fields, including those from antennas. It provides guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields and is critical for ensuring safety in environments where antennas are used.
6. IEEE 1720-2012: This standard specifies the procedures for evaluating the performance of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) antennas. It’s important in the field of RFID technology, where antennas play a crucial role in communication between tags and readers.
7. IEEE 1498-2008: This standard addresses the procedures for measuring the impedance of antennas. Accurate impedance measurement is crucial for ensuring that antennas are properly matched to their transmission lines, minimizing reflection and maximizing power transfer.
