Do this template meet your needs?
Or do you want me only to change the logo?
If this one is ok I go on with the others

Brief description of the WG: Antenna measurements constitute an indispensable part of the development, approval, or commissioning of any wireless system. The stringent specifications and high complexity of modern antennas necessitate that the characterization of these be achieved by way of measurements. This is true for analysis and synthesis in the development of antennas, for verification in the approval of antennas, and for calibration in the commissioning of antennas. The importance of antenna measurements increases with the on-going growth of wireless technologies, and it is reflected in expanding research and development activities as well as numerous new antenna measurement facilities being established.Generally, the EurAAP working group on antenna measurements constitutes a framework for cooperation to advance research and development of antenna measurements in support of the ever-increasing use of wireless technology in modern society. Specifically, the EurAAP WG5 will pursue the following long-term objectives:Antenna measurement techniques for new wireless technologiesStandard procedures for different antenna measurements techniquesStandard procedures for benchmarking of antenna measurement facilitiesServices for antenna measurement facilities and the wireless communication industryMobility of personnel and sharing of technical resourcesEducational activities for universities and industryCooperation/networking with other professional organizations on antenna measurements Also, this working group has established a long-term cooperation with the different COST actions in antenna area (specifically COST-VISTA), with the AMTA Europe Volunteer Group (Antenna Measurement Techniques Association) and with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering).The working group is organized in tasks.

TASK 2 “Antenna Measurement Intercomparison”.

Five  campaigns with different antennas:

1. BTS1940 – base-station antenna, UMTS & GSM bands, 8 participants – completed

2. SH800 – ultra-wideband horn, 0.8 – 6.0 GHz, 13  participants – completed

3. SR40-A – offset reflector, Ku- and Ka-bands, 10 participants – completed

4. MIMO – few PIFA antennas, LTE bands, 2 participants – completed

5. MVG Chip reference antennas, V band: new campaign starting now!

TASK 4 “New Antenna Measurement Standard” (started in 2015). Contribution to the development of the new IEEE standard on antenna measurements (149 and 1720)

TASK 5 “Measurement Facility Comparisons with mm-VAST”. It started in 2019- on-going.

TASK 6 "Self-evaluation measurement" to establish a process to self-evaluate antenna measurement systems from comparison of the measurement results with the reference patterns obtained in the intercomparison campaigns performed within Task 2. Suitable to new labs or any facility needing to do intercomparison activities to maintain their certification.

Task 7: "New and emerging technologies for antenna OTA measurements" to promote collaborative research in new and emerging technologies for antenna OTA measurements. It started in March 2021- on-going.
