The Antennas and Propagation Technical Network facilitates sharing and understanding of technical information and knowledge associated with Antennas and propagation for the benefit of IET members and the wider community.
Chair's Welcome
On behalf of the IET Antennas & Propagation TN, I look forward to welcoming you at one of our future events.
Dr Anil Shukla
Up Coming Events
13th Colloquium on Antennas, Wireless and Electromagnetics (CAWE)
11 June 2025 – University of Liverpool – 09:00-16:30hrs BST
This one-day free-to-attend event brings together early career and experienced research scientists, engineers, and technologists, to share, discuss and debate their latest technical knowledge about antennas, propagation and wireless and electromagnetics in an informal colloquium style event.
This year we look forward to hearing from researchers on how their work could contribute to the global “Sustainability” challenge (i.e. making us carbon neutral or reducing our energy consumption).
There will be three keynote presentations, together with an opportunity to present a short paper or poster, as well as a visit to the department’s Reverberation Chamber which is the largest in the UK universities.
Call for Abstracts for CAWE
If you would like to submit an abstract for CAWE, please use the template below and forward to Deborah-Claire McKenzie by 28 May 2025. Further details of the Call for Abstracts can be found via the above event URL. Please also ensure you read the Terms and Conditions for the Call for Abstracts.
Are you interested in learning more about the Satellite Applications Catapult: Comms on the Move Electronically Steerable Antenna Test (CESAT) Facility? Register here for more information and how to join us for our webinar on 7 May 2025 at 12.00hrs BST.
Our speaker Dr Benjamin Faulkner, Antenna Design Engineer, Satellite Applications Catapult and his colleagues will cover the development of this test and measurement facility which is in development and will be based at Westcott.
The presentation will include the exciting work on high frequency realtime antenna measurments, complex signal processing and vehicle motion emulation on a motion platform. The facility will place the next generation of satcom terminals under full environmental test, simulating movement and vibration for airborne, land vehicular and maritime applications, combined with novel electromagnetic testing to simulate multiple LEO satellites in a constellation. Using a laboratory environment ensures results can be verified without the expense and complexity of using in-orbit satellites.
Events
The IET Antennas & Propagation Technical Network recently held a collaborative workshop with the Swiss Institute of Metrology(METAS), on 31 March as part of EuCAP 2025. Measurement Advancements for 5G/6G and Emerging Wireless Standards: Innovations, Precision and Standardisation Workshop.
Please see this blog from EuCAP and the workshop by the TN Chair, Dr Anil Shukla.
At the Operating in Future Electromagnetic Environments (OFEME) symposium 2024 on 19-21 November 2024, the Antennas and Propagation Network hosted a workshop entitled ’How do you integrate New Agile Antenna Concepts with Agile Radio Systems and Agile Networks’.
Dr Anil Shukla, Chair of the IET A&P TN prepared this blog from the workshop.
