I address the issue of the definition and measurement of noise figure and parameters to characterize multiport devices, particularly differential amplifiers. A parameterization in terms of the noise matrix appears to be the most practical. The noise figure

We extend previously developed oscilloscope sampler models to include realistic circuit characteristics and use these models to investigate the nose-to-nose calibration technique.
We propose a new broad-band, short (80-cm-long) disk-loaded thick cylindrical dipole (DTCD) antenna for validation of an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test site for the frequency range between 30-300 MHz. In order to achieve broad-band

The permittivity and dielectric loss tangent of bulk strontium titanate were measured from 4 to 3pp K, at frequencies from 400 MHz to 3.8 GHz, using a dielectric rod-resonator technique. Single-crystal and ceramic SrTiO 3 samples were both investigated

We report results of stability tests on several noise sources for selected frequencies between 12 and 26.5 GHz. Measurements covered intervals of about 1 week and about 1 year or more. Drifts in noise temperature were typically less than the uncertainty of

We report the development of a 76.84 mm (3.025 in) diameter coaxial air line system whose purpose is to measure the dielectric and magnetic properties of bulk dielectric and ferrite materials over a frequency range of approximately 0.3 - 1500 MHZ. We
A significant modification of an existing experimental technique based on the second-harmonic magneto-optical Kerr effect (SH-MOKE) is introduced. With a p-polarized pumping optical wave incident upon a magnetic film, the transverse component of
We demonstrate a method of eliminating overshoot and ringing in magnetizaiton dynamics when the system bandwidth includes the intrinsic ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The method employsstaggered step excitation for the cancellation of FMR oscillations
We summarize measurement results on many polymer, ceramic, and composite substrate and packaging materials. Measurements on low-loss materials are obtained from closed and open cavity resonators, as well as dielectric-resonator methods. Measurements of the

The NIST Noise project has constructed and tested a new, automated, coaxial (GPC-7) radiometer for the measurement of noise sources in the 8-12 GHz frequency band. It is an isolated, total-power radiometer that relies on lookup tables for relevant

We examine the sccuracy of the air-filled stripline cavity in measuring the dielectric and magnetic properties of bulk materials in the frequency range of 150-2000 MHz. Measured data on complex permittivity and permeability for several different-sized
We have developed a micromachined bimaterial cantilever with a thin-film ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) sensor to probe rf fields near microwave devices. A patterned permalloy film deposited at the tip of the cantilever serves as the localized FMR probe
In a previous paper, we have presented a method for evaluating the performance of anechoic chambers by analyzing the S-parameters of a system comprising two antennas facing each other in an anechoic chamber using the matrix pencil method. In this work, we
We have developed a ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) instrument based on a torsion-mode atomic-force microscope (AFM). The instrument measures the torque on a magnetized thin film in a static out-of-plane field perpendicular to the film surface. The magnetic

The microwave dielectric properties of bulk barium strontium titanate and magnesium oxide ceramic composites are measured with cylindrical mode-filtered cavity and dielectric sleeve resonator techniques. The cylindrical wall of the mode- filtered cavity
