The company has exhibited at the annual AMTA Symposium since the early 2000s, and several ETS-Lindgren employees have served as BoD members. In addition, ETS-Lindgren engineers regularly contribute to the technical program of the AMTA Symposium, including several research papers on varied topics documenting ETS-Lindgren’s expertise in wireless over-the-air (OTA), EMC, and RF/Microwave test and measurement system solutions.
Mr. Chen’s AMTA 2021 presentation, the “Intercomparisons of Site VSWR Measurement Methods using Mode Filtering, Time Domain and Spatial Sampling Techniques”, was from the paper of the same title co-authored with Stuart Gregson of Next Phase Measurements.
