With the proliferation of communications and remote sensing applications in the mm-wave (30 - 300 GHz) band, there is an increased need for reliable test facilities and test methods for various antennas in this frequency band. Although the theory and principles of measurement are quite similar to those of microwave antennas, the techniques and facilities setup pose unique challenges that require innovative solutions.

This workshop brings together presenters with practical, hands-on experience in mm-wave antenna measurement to discuss how they overcame some of these challenges. These include the design of test facilities for on-chip mm-wave antennas, nearfield scanning techniques, practical cost-saving measures, and industrialised test solutions. The workshop concludes with panel discussion on the future challenges in mm-wave antenna measurements.
