A stripline resonator was used to measure the relative dielectric and magnetic properties of materials in the frequency range from 150 MHz to 2 GHz. Measurement accuracy relates strongly to the dimensions of the resonator. Consequently, equations used in
This letter presents a new transmission line method for measuring the complex permittivity of dielectric materials using propagation constant measurements. In contrast to previous methods, a network analyzer calibration is unnecessary since calibrated
This paper investigates the one-dimensional metal-insulator-semiconductor transmission line. It develops closed-form expressions for equivalent-circuit parameters, compares them to exact calculations, and explores their limitations. It also investigates

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) microwave power standards in waveguide consist of automated microcalorimeters and associated transfer standards. Each transfer standard is a bolometric dc substitution power detector (a thermistor

We performed extensive tests on three mode-stirred (reverberation) chambers operated by the High Intensity Radiation Laboratory located at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research (NASA/LaRC) in Hampton, VA.

A set of wafer-probeable diode noise source transfer standards are characterized using on-wafer noise-temperature methods developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Boulder, CO.
This report presents a new method for determining the equivalent electric and magnetic dipole moments of an electrically small emitter from TEM-cell measurements. The electric dipole moments are determined from open-circuit measurements, and the magnetic
Abstract: This paper assesses certain systematic high frequency measurement errors inherent in the procedures described in the JEDEC 123 Guideline for Measurement of Electronic Package Inductance and Capacitance Model Parameters.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology calibrates electromagnetic compatibility antennas using the standard antenna method. This method uses a standard antenna to precisely measure the electric field at a location. An antenna under test is
The purpose of this paper is to describe two free space measurement systems, developed at NIST for the evaluation of RF aborbers, and to demonstrate capabilities using measurement examples. The first consists of a moveable measurement system that performs
A plane wave integral representation is presented for well-stirred fields in a reverberation chamber. The representation automatically satisfies Maxwell's equations in a source-free region and the statistical properties of the fields are introduced through
The configuration of antennas at an Open Area Test site (OATS) for calibrations results in constructive and destructive electric fields. Regardless of the calibration method used, the antenna to be calibrated should be loacted where the field varies slowly
This paper presents the theoretical basis for spherical, near-field scanning in the general case where radiating sources exist both inside and outside the measurement region. The fields are expanded in terms of outgoing spherical waves (due to interior

This paper describes the extration of electrical material properties of lossy, carbon-doped urethane slabs using a free-space time-domain reflectivity measurement system of developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In order to
Various optical-fiber, bulkhead adapter feedthroughs were tested over a range from 1 GHz to 16 GHz to determine how much they degraded the shielding effectiveness of electronic enclosures. The shielding effectiveness varied widely, from a low of about 20
