Antenna Gain Factor Equivanlent for TEM Cells

Author(s)
Perry F. Wilson
This paper derives a gain factor equivalent for TEM cells. The gain factor is then used in simple transmission fomulas to investigate emissions tests in TEM

High-Power Nonlinearity of Optical Fiber Power Meter

Author(s)
Igor Vayshenker, Ralph Swafford, Shao Yang
We have developed a system for measuring the nonlinearity of optical fiber power meters at maximum power of 2 W. This system is based on the triplet

Development Life Cycle and Tools for XML Content Models

Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, KC Morris, Jeong Buhwan, Puja Goyal
Many integration projects today rely on shared semantic models based on standards represented using Extensible Mark up Language (XML) technologies. Shared

Experimental Studies of Integrated Cognitive Systems

Author(s)
P Langley, Elena R. Messina
In this paper, we examine the issues that arise in the experimental study of integrated cognitive systems. We review the reasons why such artifacts are dicult

Comparing Algorithms: Rules of Thumb and an Example

Author(s)
Stephen B. Balakirsky, Thomas R. Kramer
This paper provides twenty rules of thumb for comparing algorithms having the same function, one of which is to be selected for use in an intelligent system

Autonomous Road Driving Arenas for Performance Evaluation

Author(s)
Christopher J. Scrapper Jr, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Brian Weiss
The development of performance metrics is critical in the evaluation and advancement of intelligent systems. Obtaining the pinnacle of intelligence in

Power dissipation in a vertically integrated chip-scale atomic clock

Author(s)
John Kitching, Svenja A. Knappe, Li-Anne Liew, P Schwindt, V Shah, John Moreland, Leo W. Hollberg
The physics package of a vertically-integrated chip-scale atomic clock based on Cs has recently been demonstrated at NIST. This device requires 69 mW of

The Cesium Physics Package Design for the PARCS Experiment

Author(s)
Eric A. Burt, William Klipstein, Steven R. Jefferts
The Primary Atomic Reference Clock in Space (PARCS) is a collaboration between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Jet Propulsion

W-band dual channel PM/AM noise measurement system

Author(s)
Archita Hati, Craig Nelson, J Nava, David A. Howe, Fred L. Walls
We discuss the performance of a W-band (92 to 96 GHz) PM and AM noise measurement system. The system uses two nearly identical channels to measure the AM or P M

Microfabricated Atomic Frequency References

Author(s)
Svenja A. Knappe, P Schwindt, V Shah, Leo W. Hollberg, John Kitching, Li-Anne Liew, John Moreland
We report on the fabrication of a physics package for a chip-scale atomic clock with a volume of 9.5 mm^3, consuming 75 m W of power. The design is described in

Theo1 Confidence Intervals

Author(s)
T Tasset, David A. Howe, Donald B. Percival
Theoretical variance #1 (Theo1) has been developed at NIST to improve the estimation of long-term frequency stability. Its square-root (Theo1-dev) has two
