This paper assesses the accuracy of several proposed lumped-element calibration techniques for four-sampler vector network analyzers in the face of imperfectly defined standards. We find that these methods offer a wide range of accuracies, depending on the
We will describe a new causal power-normalized waveguide equivalent-circuit theory and explore its implications. The new theory marries a power normalization with additional constraints that enforce simultancity of the theory's voltages and currents and
This bibliography lists the publications by the staff of the Radio-Frequency Technology Division, formerly the Electromagnetic Fields Division, of the National Institute of Standards and Technology for the period January 1970 through July 1999. It

In this paper, we present a model that accounts for the gaps between ferrite tiles which occur during the installation of the tiles in anechoic chambers.

In this paper, we describe a technique based on optical holography which allows determination of the amplitude and phase of an unknown antenna on a near-field plane from amplitude-only measurements.

A new method of compensating the frequency temperature dependence of high-Q monolithic sapphire di-electric resonators near liquid nitrogen temperature is presented. This is achieved by doping monocrystalline sapphire with Ti 3+ ions. This technique offers
This work presents a complete equivalent-circuit theory for lossy multimode transmission lines. Its voltages and currents are based on general linear combinations of standard normalized modal voltages and currents. The theory includes new expressions for

Caught among contradictory stories on the need for surge protection as well as unsupported anecdotes of surge-related failures found in some editorial advertising, the typical consumer is in a quandary on how to est allocate personal resources to protect

This paper investigates a measurement method that characterizes lossy printed multiconductor transmission lines, its accuracy, the choice of measurement representations, and some simple approximations. We illustrate the method with measurements of a pair
We used a magneto-optical Kerr effect microscope to measure 180° magnetization reversal in a high coercivity CoCr10Ta4 thin film subjected to nanosecond field pulses. Exponential magnetization decay occurs for pulse duration tp10 ns, indicating a crossover

This is an overview of dielectric and magnetic material measurements on printed wiring board and substrate materials. The most commonly used methods are presented. We begin with an overview of pertinent properties of circuit-board and substrate materials
