Measuring is knowing if you know how to metEN.

Suppose you measure an antenna and blindly trust the procedure and measurement results. It should go well but if you don't know what to expect the whole measurement might be wrong. Knowing in advance what the measurement results should be approximately keeps you sharp on the measurement setup and thus reliable measurement results. In fact, we see that it sometimes happens that the measurement results are bad, while the equipment is good. Having equipment does not guarantee a good test setup.

We can safely say that we know about antennas ;-). Not only the theory behind it but especially through decades of experience in the practice of antennas. And we have our own anechoic room and measuring equipment. We need those for our own product development and use them for pre-compliance tests for our customers. In general, we recommend doing a pre-compliance test to make sure you know yourself - with the measurement report in hand - what to expect during testing/certification at an accredited test lab. This saves frustration because you then know almost for sure whether or not you will pass the inspection with the device.

My passion for antenna technology started Leap Development in 2006. And even in my spare time, I read the 'Antennen Buch': the standard work in my profession. I can get totally absorbed in radio schematics and making applications with GSM and satellite connections.
