The electromechanical properties of (0.3 υm thick) yttrium-barium-copper-oxide (YBCO) coatings on buffered pure-nickel rolling-assisted-biaxially-textured substrates (RABiTS) were measured at 76 K and self magnetic field. YBCO coatings on buffered

Variable mutual inductance in critical-current measurements

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
Loren F. Goodrich, Theodore C. Stauffer
We have investigated the mutual inductance observed on pairs of voltage tapes that are soldered to superconducting wires in order to measure the voltage-current (V-I) characteristics & determine the critical current. Measurements on a Nb-Ti superconductor

December 31, 2001
Author(s)
Ronald B. Goldfarb
The Magnetic Technology Division develops and disseminates unique measurement technology for industries concerned with magnetic information storage and superconductor power. The division's projects are led by senior scientists, often assisted by engineers

Noise Parameter Uncertainties from Monte Carlo Simulations

November 8, 2001
Author(s)
James P. Randa, Wojciech Wiatr
We present results for uncertainties in noise-parameter measurements, obtained using a Monte Carlo simulation of the measurements. Sets of data were generated to simulate measurements on a low-noise amplifier, with given uncertainties in the underlying

A 2.4mm Coaxial Power Standard at NIST

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Thomas P. Crowley, Fred R. Clague
A microcalorimeter and bolometer transfer standard are used as a national standard for microwave power from 50 MHz to 50 GHz. the microcalorimeter is used to determine the efficiency of the bolometric transfer standards and is similar to an existing Type N

Transmission-line Parameter Approximation for Digital Simulation

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Dylan Williams, Christopher L. Holloway
This paper compares closed-form approximations for coplanar waveguide and microstrip transmission-line parameters to accurate measurements and full-wave calculations. We suggest improved approximations and demonstrate the limitations of our proposed and

Surface magnetic phase diagram for a semi-infinite ferromagnet

October 12, 2001
Author(s)
Pavel Kabos, David P. Pappas
The phase diagram for the orientation of the surface region is calculated in the parameter space defined by the surface and bulk anisotropy in semi-infinite ferromagnetic systems and in thin ferromagnet films. Surface magnetic canting always occurs when

Government Activity to Increase Benefits from the Global Standards System

October 3, 2001
Author(s)
Roger Marks, Robert E. Hebner
The economic development of the Twentieth Century was accompanied and enhanced by the increasing use of documentary standards, largely developed by industry. In the current environment, companies and nations in global competition adopt various strategies

Dielectric Sleeve Resonator Techniques for Microwave Complex Permittivity Evaluation

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Richard G. Geyer, Pavel Kabos, James R. Baker-Jarvis
Closed-form analytical solutions are derived for accurate microwave dielectric characterization of rod test specimens inserted into dielectric sleeve resonators placed certrally in a metal cavity. Low-loss sleeve resonators can be used advantageously for

Dynamic Constitutive Relations for Polarization and magnetization

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
James R. Baker-Jarvis, Pavel Kabos
New engineered artificial and metamaterials combine ferroelectrics, ferrites, wires, resonant rings, and ferromagnetic materials to obtain a desired response. In this paper we develop constitute relations for materials where the magnetization and

Noise Characterization of Multiport Amplifiers

October 1, 2001

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Ronald C. Wittmann, Michael H. Francis
Although the theory is straightforward, practical implementation of spherical near-field scanning for evaluating test chambers presents some significant challenges. Among these are the requirement for accurate probe positioning and the difficulty in

Time- and Frequency-Domain Analysis of EMC Test Facilities

Lorant A. Muth
A new measurement and analysis technique to isolate the background signals present in radar cross section measurements is presented. By definition the measured RCS of a target is independent of the measured phase, but it is not independent of the phase
