Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) to achieve spectrum sharing in unlicensed bands is a promising approach for meeting the growing demands of forthcoming and deployed wireless networks, such as long-term evolution license-assisted access (LTE-LAA) and IEEE 802
While mode selection has been envisioned as the most cost-effective way to address the interference issue in Device-to-Device (D2D) communications, existing works have been largely conducted without consideration of the energy depletion of devices. In this

We developed a cryogenic multiline thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration kit for microwave characterizing of superconductive circuits used in the Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer of the national institute of standards and technology (NIST). We also
The Smart Grid represents an unprecedented opportunity to move the electric grid into a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency. It uses two-way communications, digital technologies, advanced sensing and computing infrastructure, and software
This Radio Frequency (RF) dataset consists of synthetically generated waveforms of incumbent 3.5 GHz radar systems. The intended use of the dataset is for developing and evaluating detectors for the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) or
The generalized three-antenna method is a standard method for measuring on-axis gain and polarization of an antenna without a priori knowledge. The cornerstone of the method is the use of the extrapolation technique and the key relationship in the

For the first time, we synthesize single- and multiple-tone waveforms at gigahertz frequencies from arrays of Josephson junctions and demonstrate quantum-locked operation over a range of experimental input parameters. We first use a lumped-element circuit

Advances in artificial intelligence, or more specifically machine learning, have made it possible for computers to recognize patterns as well or better than humans. The process of quality management in radio-frequency measurements is an arduous one that

The paper describes implementation of phased array antennas for use in a wideband channel sounding system. The antennas are 62.5 GHz prototypes, utilizing SiGe chips on a printed circuit-board. Each board consists of two 16-element series-fed patch array

The Microwave Uncertainty Framework (MUF) is a software suite created, supported, and made publicly available by the Radio Frequency Division of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. The general purpose of the MUF is to provide automated

The focus of our analysis was on the estimation of the economic benefits of GPS to the U.S. private sector. We provide estimates from two perspectives. First, we quantified the value of GPS relative to alternative technologies and systems for the period

We discuss the estimation of confidence and prediction intervals for microwave measurements and highlight the difficulties of applying a conventional approach when correlations must be preserved in the uncertainty analysis. We then suggest an alternative

Emergency and disaster situations are unavoidable. Earthquakes, severe weather, bomb threats, and war are an unfortunate reality. Firefighters, bomb technicians, and urban search and rescue specialists are the first to respond in emergency situations. These

We have developed a method for improving the synchronization of large-signal network analyzers and transferring "cross-frequency" phase calibrations from a calibrated sampling oscilloscope to the large-signal vector network analyzer on an arbitrary
