October 12, 2005 -- ARRL Laboratory Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI,
will be a guest lecturer during the 2005 Antenna Measurement Techniques
Association (AMTA) Symposium October
30-November 4 at the Newport Marriott, 25 America's Cup Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island. Hare's free presentation Tuesday, November 1, at 7 PM, is open to
all Amateur Radio licensees. Arranged in cooperation between AMTA and ARRL, Hare's
talk will focus on Broadband over Power Line (BPL) and will provide background
on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues associated with this
technology. A presentation will follow on the antenna modeling and measurement
techniques ARRL uses to assess interference from BPL. It will include a
description of test methods and a program through which radio amateurs and
others can contribute to a utility-industry project to assess BPL systems. A
member of the ARRL staff for more than 19 years, Hare is a member of the IEEE
EMC Society and the IEEE Standards Association and serves as a member of the
IEEE EMC Society Standards Development Committee, chairing its recently formed
BPL study project. More information on AMTA and the 2005 AMTA Symposium is
available on the AMTA Web site.
