News & Events
The project meeting in M18 was held on 8-9 October 2024 in Gebze, TÜBİTAK UME, Türkiye. The progress of the project was summarized and many fruitful technical discussions took place. The meeting was followed by two technical workshops. The first workshop summarized experience achieved with practical realizations of electromagnetic field standards in particular institutes (i.e., parallel plate capacitor, pyramidal cell, uTEM cell, improvements of anechoic chamber measurements). The second workshop presented the code-selective method for measurement of electromagnetic field intensity of cellular standards (3G, 4G and insight into 5G).
Thanks TÜBİTAK UME for creating a nice working atmosphere and their hospitality.
RISE, CMI, SIQ and TÜBİTAK are going to perform a comparisons of three types of antenna calibration capabilities during 2024. Several different antennas will be used as transfer standards.
The comparisons will be undertaken as follows
(i) ECSM for monopole antennas
(ii) antennas in the frequency range 30 MHz – 1 GHz (RISE, TUBITAK)
(iii) High-frequency calibration using a fully anechoic room / free space in the range 1 GHz – 40 GHz
The comparison reports will be published after the comparison end and available in the project website.
TÜBİTAK is going to organise and evaluate a comparison on the automatic measurement of RF power up to 18 GHz. The comparison will be a ring style type. Other comparison participants include CMI, GUM, IMBiH, NSAI, SIQ, Trescal and Spark. The AutoRFPower software developed by project partner Middle East Technical University will be used in the comparison.
Project partner Middle East Technical University is going to deploy their AutoRFPower software developed together with Spark Calibration Laboratory and TUBITAK UME to project participants IMBiH, Trescal, NSAI, SIQ and CMI.
The software can make automatic RF power measurement, which can be used by manufacturers producing based on RF power measurement and calibration and test laboratories accredited within the scope of RF power measurement, saving time and minimizing operator errors. It offers measurement uncertainty evaluation with Bayesian (GUM) and Monte Carlo Method approach, it is adaptable to specific measuring devices of project partners and is compatible with measurement equipment of major instrumentation vendors.
One of the activities of the project in WP3 is establishing of new capacities using various electromagnetic field realisations (e.g. a TEM cell, μTEM cell, pyramidal cell etc.). Researchers from TÜBITAK UME visited CMI on 23-24 August 2023 to work on the activity and exchange ideas and experience. It was two busy days full of fruitful discussions.
