We aim to advance and demonstrate state-of-the-art methods for collecting and characterizing received radio frequency (RF) emissions from the perspective and situation of spectrum users that are bound to efficient spectrum operations. This project addresses needs posed by stakeholders to the National Spectrum Strategy’s pipeline plans. In a neutral, measurements-based role, NIST/CTL is uniquely positioned to bring data and measurement methods to the stakeholder group.
Objectives
The In-Situ RF Emissions Metrology Project blends expertise in traditional spectrum monitoring, digital signal processing and statistics with applied, situationally relevant, measurement methods, modeling, and simulation techniques to build towards assessments of:
