Low loss sleeve resonators can be used for accurate microwave dielectric characterization of rod-shaped test specimens. The test specimen is inserted into the dielectric sleeve resonator and placed centrally in a metal cavity. With the use of additional
This paper reports results for uncertainties obtained using a Monte Carlo simulation of noise-parameter measurements. The simulator permits the computation of the dependence of the uncertainty in the noise parameters on uncertainties in the underlying

A new one-port noise temperature measurement technique is presented that uses receiver noise parameters for error correction. Improved accuracy in one-port noise temperature measurements made with commercial systems is demonstrated without using isolators

The broadband wireless access industry, which provides high-rate network connections to stationary sites, has matured to the point at which it now has a standard for second-generation wireless metropolitan area networks. IEEE Standard 802.16, with its

The use of both mode-matching and Rayleigh-Ritz numerical techniques for complex permittivity calculations using a TE 01δ mode dielectric resonator allows the determination of lower and upper bounds of the permittivity. The maximum difference of the

The dielectric resonator technique is frequently used for surface resistance measurements of superconducting films. Generally, an effective surface resistance has been measured that neglects the finite thickness of superconducting films. The dependence of

We present the dependence of the magnetostriction in Ni 0.8Fe 0.2 films on Tb and Gd doping concentration with the measured doping dependence of the high-frequency damping. While the magnetostriction and the high-frequency damping are correlated, the

Reaction of Nb 3Sn wires in an Icology 908 conduit in the presence of oxygen can decrease the conduit's fracture toughness. This may be avoided by reacting in a reducing atmosphere of 5% hydrogen-95% argon. The effects of the hydrogen reaction on the
A short history of the relationship between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Calibration Coordination Group (CCG) of the Department of Defense (DoD) from its inception in 1968 to the present is illustrated with descriptions
Small spin valves are switched using a subnanosecond field pulse applied alongdg the magnetization hard-axis fields increases as the duration is decreased from 325 to 230 ps. This indicates a large-angle precessional motion in response to the transverse
With the completion of the IEEE Standard 802.16 WirelessMAN {trademark} air interface, broadband wireless access (BWA) is reaching maturity as a serious alternative for broadband access deployment. Once the 802.16 amendment is complete, the standard will

We present performance results based on the first astronomical use of multiplexed superconducting bolometers. The Fabry-Perot Interferometer Bolometer Research Experiment (FIBRE) is a broadband submillimeter spectrometer that achieved first light in June

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the general-purpose detectors to be provided for the LHC project at CERN. The design filed of the CMS superconducting magnet is 4 T, the magnetic length is 12.5 m and the free bore is 6 m. Approximately 2000 km of
We reexamine the characteristics of electrically short dipoles with nonlinear loads and, specifically, the early work of Motohisa Kanda. Although this problem has been examined in great detail in the past, some errors have not been addressed. We describe

A new type of ferromagnet/antiferromagnet structure (fe/KCoF 3) was deposited by molecular beam epitaxy. Unidirectional and uniaxial anisotropies of 5.1 and 3.4 kA/m were measured at 23 K using ferromagnetic resonance. Magnetization measurements at 5 K

This paper examines the use of measurements of the total radiated power from an arbitrary source, combined with theory-based directivity or quality factor estimates, to accurately predict the maximum electric field radiated by the source either at a line
The main part of this paper is an English translation (from the original Italian) of an early (1976) paper by P. Corona and G. Latmiral. Alongside this translation is an original critical review of that paper. Much of the current thory, models, and
The dynamics of the surface and 'bulk' magnetization vectors of a Ni-Fe thin film were measured using the time-resolved second harmonic and linear magnetooptical Kerr effects. Films of 50, 250, and 400 nm thickness were measured. The magnetization dynamics
A plane-wave integral representation is used to derive spatial correlation functions for the complex electric and magnetic field components, and the results agree with previously published results derived by volume averaging of a mode sum. Results are also

In this paper we present time-domain techniques for modeling, characterizing, and measuring anechoic and semi-anechoic chambers used for emission and immunity testing of digital devices. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach is used to model
This article describes how artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to benefit a number of RF and microwave measurement areas including vector network analyzer (VNA) calibrations, power, and material characterization. We apply ANNs to model a variety

A low-cost, inductive current probe designed for integration into a disk drive trace suspension assembly is described. The main consideration for this design was to use the same materials currently found in trace suspension assemblies, and thus reducing

Magnetization dynamics measurements at subnanosecond time scale have been performed on Fe Co N high-saturation soft magnetic films with Permalloy nanolayer seeds and having a saturation magnetization of 1.9 MA/m (1900 emu/cm3). The damping parameter a
