About This Item
IEEE 145-2013 is a technical standard for definitions of terms used in antenna engineering, helping readers use the same vocabulary when discussing fields, waves, and electromagnetics. By setting out a common language for antenna-related concepts, it supports clearer design reviews, specification writing, and technical communication. In practice, this kind of reference standard matters because antenna work often spans measurement, analysis, and documentation, where precise terminology can affect interpretation and consistency.
About IEEE 145-2013
This standard focuses on the terminology associated with antennas and related electromagnetic concepts. IEEE 145-2013 is useful as a reference point when engineers, testers, and technical writers need consistent definitions for terms that appear in antenna theory, performance discussions, and documentation. As an inactive standard, it remains relevant for historical reference, legacy specifications, and projects that continue to align with established terminology from the fields, waves, and electromagnetics domain.
Where is IEEE 145-2013 used?
The standard is commonly used in antenna design, laboratory testing, technical publishing, and engineering documentation where exact wording matters. It may be consulted in radio systems work, electromagnetic analysis, and compliance-related reports that involve antenna characteristics or measurement results. IEEE 145-2013 is especially helpful when teams need to interpret older documents, compare terminology across projects, or maintain consistency in systems that depend on well-defined antenna language.
Importance in practice
Clear definitions reduce misunderstanding in antenna engineering, where similar terms can describe different physical ideas or measurement conditions. IEEE 145-2013 helps improve consistency across design, procurement, and test workflows by giving teams a shared vocabulary for fields, waves, and electromagnetics. That can support better documentation control, fewer specification errors, and more reliable review of performance data. For organizations working with antenna systems, a stable terminology reference can also lower risk during evaluation and acceptance.
