Christopher Robert Anderson

Christopher R. Anderson joined the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) in 2023, following a distinguished 16-year tenure at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) as an Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department. At USNA, he founded and directed the Wireless Measurements Group, a specialized research team focusing on spectrum, propagation, and field strength measurements in diverse environments and frequencies ranging from 300 MHz to 28 GHz. During 2016-2018, Dr. Anderson served as a Visiting Researcher for the NTIA ITS Theory Division, concentrating on the development of propagation models for cluttered environments. Currently, his primary interests lie in enhancing spectrum coexistence between active and passive technologies and improving wireless coverage in rural or underserved areas. Dr. Anderson has served as an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, is currently the Chair of the UAV and V2V Channel Modeling Subgroup of the IEEE Mobile Communication Network Standards Committee, and is Chair of the URSI US National Committee Commission A (Electromagnetic Metrology).
