Please join us at Satellite 2018 from March 12-15 at booth #142.

SATELLITE unites aerospace thought leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, engineers, end-users and enthusiasts together in one place for the largest and most important global satellite technology event of the year. For more than 35 years, SATELLITE has played a critical role in determining how satellites will shape the future of our world. The show welcomes a community of aerospace professionals from every market and field of study, hailing from more than 100 nations around the world.

NSI-MI Technologies cordially invites you and your colleagues to attend our Annual Spring Short Course at our Los Angeles, CA facility. This course will cover the theoretical and practical aspects of Near-Field antenna testing. The presenters of this course have been specifically selected to provide a wide expertise base covering theory, application, software and instrumentation aspects of near-field antenna testing.

Do you enjoy brainstorming innovative engineering solutions? If so, bring your résumé to our booth at the University of Mississippi’s Engineering, Manufacturing, and Technology Day Career Fair. We will be recruiting talented engineers from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on February 22^nd at The Inn at Ole Miss Ballroom.

NSI-MI Technologies is pleased to announce Dr. Vince Rodriguez has been appointed as an Adjunct Research Professor within the School of Electrical Engineering at The University of Mississippi.

Dr. Rodriguez received his BSEE in 1994 from The University of Mississippi and continued his graduate studies at Ole Miss obtaining both his M.S. and Ph.D. in Engineering Science (Electromagnetics Emphasis). He began his professional career as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M-Kingsville. From 2000 to 2014, Vince was employed with ETS-Lindgren working as a Senior Principal Antenna Engineer and Product Manager. Vince joined the NSI-MI Technologies Family in 2014 where he currently works as a Staff Engineer.

For more than 20 years, Dr. Rodriguez has significantly contributed to research in the fields of antenna design and anechoic chamber design. Vince holds two patents; one for EMC/RF absorber and another for a broad band horn antenna. He has published over 50 technical papers and articles sharing his relevant theories and innovative products including introducing the Open Boundary Quad-Ridged Horn Antenna. This antenna geometry became a preferred type for broadband antennas used in antenna measurements.

Vince is actively involved in the antenna test and measurement community where he has served on both the Board of AMTA and IEEE-EMC Societies, is a Senior Member of IEEE and an Edmond S. Gillespie Fellow of AMTA. He currently serves as a Technical Reviewer and Session Chair for AMTA, chairs workshops for the IEEE EMC Symposia, and is a reviewer for the ACES Journal and the Journal of EM Waves and Applications. He is also a member of the Board of Advisors of the School of Engineering at the University of Mississippi and is currently serving as Secretary of the Working Groups for the updating both IEEE Standards 149 (Antenna Measurements) and 1128 (RF Absorber Measurements).

It comes to us as no surprise that Vince has this new accolade to add to his most impressive resume. Congrats Vince!

During the recent AMTA 2017 Symposium in Atlanta, the AMTA 2016 Best Paper Award was given to NSI-MI authors Brett Walkenhorst and Dave Tammen for the paper entitled “Correcting Polarization Distortion in a Compact Range Feed”. This prestigious award is only given to one paper each year, and congratulate Brett and Dave on their achievement!

Scott McBride, Senior Staff Engineer for NSI-MI, received an award from the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) for his significant contributions in producing a revised standard, DO-213A, Minimal Operational Performance Standards for Nose-Mounted Radomes. RTCA is a non-profit organization that brings together business, technical, operational and regulatory experts from across the aviation industry to establish standards of performance in U.S. and global aviation. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) relies on standards developed by RTCA, such as DO-213A, as the basis for government certification of equipment used by the tens of thousands of aircraft flying daily through the world’s airspace. Scott has extensive expertise in radome measurements. His guidance, analysis, and written contributions were respected and appreciated by his peers on the working committee.
