About This Item
IEEE P1720/D5, Sept 2024 is a draft recommended practice for near field antenna measurements, focused on how electromagnetic fields are evaluated close to the antenna rather than only in the far field. It is relevant to engineers working in fields, waves and electromagnetics, as well as communication, networking and broadcast technologies. By supporting more consistent measurement methods, IEEE P1720/D5, Sept 2024 helps improve comparison, repeatability, and confidence in antenna testing and performance assessment.
About IEEE P1720/D5, Sept 2024
This draft recommended practice addresses the technical context of near field antenna measurements, where field sampling and measurement setup can strongly affect results. IEEE P1720/D5, Sept 2024 is intended to guide measurement practice so that antenna data is captured and interpreted more consistently. In engineering work, that can support better correlation between test results, design expectations, and system performance. It is especially relevant when working with radiating structures that require careful electromagnetic measurement control.
Where is IEEE P1720/D5, Sept 2024 used?
IEEE P1720/D5, Sept 2024 is commonly used in antenna test environments, RF engineering laboratories, and development workflows for wireless, broadcast, and communications equipment. It is particularly relevant where near field measurement techniques are used to characterize antenna behavior, validate prototypes, or support calibration and test planning. The standard may also be useful in facilities that compare measured electromagnetic data across different setups, helping teams maintain a more uniform approach to antenna evaluation.
Importance in practice
In practice, a clear recommended practice for near field antenna measurements helps reduce uncertainty and improves consistency across testing activities. IEEE P1720/D5, Sept 2024 can support better compliance with internal test procedures, more reliable procurement and qualification decisions, and stronger control over measurement variation. For engineers and test teams, that matters because near field results can be sensitive to setup and interpretation. Using a defined method helps lower risk when assessing antenna performance and documenting results.
