About
G. E. Hindman is a leading figure in the evolution of antenna measurement, pioneering the integration of industrial robotics and computational simulation to create flexible, high-precision test environments. His core research focuses on modernizing near-field antenna measurement systems, moving beyond traditional fixed-geometry facilities to develop adaptable, robotic-based solutions. Hindman’s major contribution is the design and implementation of a novel combination planar and spherical near-field system using a 6-axis industrial robot, a breakthrough that allows a single platform to measure diverse antenna types without dedicated hardware. This work, detailed in his most-cited paper (29 citations), has fundamentally shifted how test ranges are conceived. He further advanced the field by applying Model-Based Systems Engineering to create a commercial nose-radome test system employing a collaborative robot (cobot), demonstrating the practical viability of these concepts. With over 50 combined citations, Hindman’s research is shaping the next generation of antenna test environments—making them more reconfigurable, cost-effective, and capable of handling complex, modern antennas. His work is essential reading for engineers seeking to move beyond static test ranges toward intelligent, robotic measurement systems.
