A new 16-term statistical calibration is developed for the correction of vector network analyzer (VNA) data. The method uses multiple measurments of gneric...
We report on the development of a microwave power limiter based on high-temperature superconductor technology. The power limiter takes the form of a 50 ohm...
There is a need for better data to improve our knowledge of human behavior in fire. This data can be used in the development and refinement of evacuation models...
