PINS-C*

Develop a White paper on testing issues to consider in regards to Near / Far field issues when measuring active antennas


* PINS-C -
a study question that is contained within the C63® committee.  It is used to investigate what might be done on a new standards project or to amend an existing standard.  Once it is clear that the work should progress, a PINS is developed that, if approved by C63® Main Committee, places the investigation into the program of work of C63® and announces it to ANSI for participation by others.  It is then assigned to a working group in a subcommittee for further action.  If no action is indicated, the PINS-C is withdrawn.
