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 would like to wish all our community members A Happy New Year. Please read my blog highlighting what the TN has achieved during 2024 and what our plans are for 2025 activities. I look forward to welcoming you at one of our future events.

Up Coming Events
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.
Past 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
A blog report on the workshop will be shared here shortly 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 which he’d like to share with members of the A&P IET EngX community.
