We propose a compact and low cost waveform source that can be used to calibrate the magnitude and phase response of vector receivers over a bandwidth as large
Users and buyers of additive manufacturing (AM) systems need to know system performance characteristics to make important, basic decisions such as whether or
Brandon M. Lane, Shawn P. Moylan, Eric P. Whitenton
Due to the poorer surface finish and geometric accuracy of additive manufactured (AM) parts compared to machined parts, it is inevitable that parts fabricated
