2022 Allen V. Astin Measurement Science Award

The group is recognized for the development of a rigorous new traceability path for microwave power and scattering parameter measurements at millimeter-wave frequencies relevant for new 5G/6G wireless communications systems. This implementation of traceability preserves correlations in uncertainties between the time and frequency domains, which are needed to achieve traceability for wideband, complex modulated signals used in 5G/6G wireless communications. These new traceable measurements underpin a wide range of measurements for wireless communications, including over-the-air testing techniques for wireless devices with multiple integrated antennas and the propagation of uncertainty to communications channel models and metrics.
