NEWS
NPM is proud to be a key contributor to Boeing's new antenna metrology measurement facility. NPM provided the Dual Robotic Antenna Measurement System (DRAMS), highlighted in the video below, for this state-of-the-art facility.
NPM recently delivered a large spherical nearfield measurement system for performing automative testing.
This new automotive test chamber installed at the Qualcomm facility in San Diego, CA was recently highlighted in Fox Business interview with Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon show casing its concept car and discussing tech innovation in the auto industry.
Kim Hassett recently joined NPM as a Sr. Staff Engineer and will be providing Technical and Sales support for the U.S. East Coast.
Kim brings with her over 35 years of antenna / RF design and measurement experience. Prior to joining NPM, Kim served as a SME and Business Development Manager for MVG, Systems Engineer for NSI-MI Technologies, and a Senior Application Engineer for Near-field Systems, Inc. Kim received her BSEE from the University of Maryland in 1985, followed by graduate studies in Electromagnetics at The John Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. After graduation, she worked for Westinghouse Electric Corporation (Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems) in Baltimore, Maryland and spent the early part of her career designing phased array antennas and later became involved with phased array analysis, simulation, and modeling. This eventually led her to the antenna range where she specialized in phased array calibration and testing. She joined Hewlett-Packard/Agilent technologies in 1998 as a Support Engineer for antenna measurement systems, and later as a Technical Consultant for network analysis, spectrum analysis, satellite test systems, and wideband surveillance systems.
Kim is a Senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); a Fellow member and Distinguished Service Award recipient of the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA); and served on the Board of Directors as President, Treasurer, AMTA 2015 Symposium Host, and AMTA 2019 Symposium Host.

Testimonials
Really enjoyed the visit... so impressive. I have been designing and testing antennas over 30 years... the robotic approach is a revolutionary step in testing.
Dr. Keith Kelly
Agile RF Systems, LLC
We look forward to the advanced antenna measurement capabilities that NPM's DRAMS (Dual Robotic Antenna Measurement System) will bring to the table. I will be a game changer for increasing test efficiency and utility of an antenna range with the ability to perform multiple measurement methods and eliminate the need for boom lifts and ladders for antenna and probe installations.
