Pathloss-model calibration is the practice of refining the nominal parameters of a model according to measurement samples collected in a specific area. It is a widely used by mobile providers to reduce prediction error up to tens of dBs depending on the

We report on a study of interconnects fabricated on organic and silicon interposers used to connect state-of-the art digital, analog and RF chiplets commissioned by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The interconnects were
Time stability measurement methods applicable to millimeter wave channel sound are presented using standard parameters used for clock stability. Novel methods are developed to measure the stability of channel sound systems used to measure propagation and

Imaging solutions based on wave scattering seek real-time performance, high dynamic range, and spatial accuracy at scales spanning from nanometers to thousands of kilometers. Compressed sensing algorithms use sparsity to reduce sample size during image
Federal Communications Commission rules for the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service permit commercial systems to share 150 MHz of bandwidth with federal and other incumbents. To protect the federal incumbents, a spectrum coordinator---the Spectrum

To meet the ever growing wireless network demands, in terms of subscribers and data throughput, operating long term evolution (LTE) in unlicensed bands, also known as license assisted access (LAA), is introduced as a promising solution. However, the LAA
Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) procedures have been specified for medium access control (MAC) in several incumbent and emerging wireless systems, such as wireless local area network (WLAN) and long-term evolution (LTE)

Compact microwave and millimeter (mm-wave) wave filters with fractional bandwidths exceeding 20 % are in demand for applications such as wireless communications and radar. Microstrip (-strip) band-pass designs implemented using high-permittivity ceramic
The wireless devices in cyber-physical systems (CPS) play a primary role in transporting the information flows within such systems. Deploying wireless systems in industry has many advantages due to the lower cost, ease of scale, and flexibility due to the
The generalized three-antenna method is a standard method for measuring on-axis gain and polarization of an antenna without a priori knowledge. The cornerstone of the method is the use of the extrapolation technique and the key relationship in the

We demonstrate amplitude and phase measurements of an RF field in the near-field of a horn antenna using a Rydberg atom-based sensor embedded inside a waveguiding structure. This measurement uses the Rydberg atom-based sensor in a mixer configuration
