1 GHz Waveform Synthesis with Josephson Arrays

July 31, 2019
Author(s)
Christine A. Donnelly, Justus A. Brevik, Nathan E. Flowers-Jacobs, Peter F. Hopkins, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
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

Machine Learning in a Quality Managed RF Measurement Workflow

July 6, 2019
Author(s)
Aric Sanders, John Bass, Arpita Bhutani, Mary A. Ho, Jim Booth
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

62.5-GHz Phased-Array Channel Sounder for Double-Directional Angle Estimation

July 1, 2019
Author(s)
Peter B. Papazian, Derek Caudill, Camillo Gentile, Jack Chuang, Nada T. Golmie
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

Monte Carlo Sampling Bias in the Microwave Uncertainty Framework

June 27, 2019
Author(s)
Michael R. Frey, Benjamin Jamroz, Amanda Koepke, Jake Rezac, Dylan Williams
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

Economic Benefits of the Global Positioning System (GPS)

June 3, 2019
Author(s)
Alan C. O'Connor, Michael P. Gallaher, Kyle Clark-Sutton, Daniel Lapidus, Zack T. Oliver, Troy J. Scott, Dallas W. Wood, Manuel A. Gonzalez, Elizabeth G. Brown
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

Large-Signal-Network-Analyzer Phase Calibration on an Arbitrary Grid

April 30, 2019
Author(s)
Aric Sanders, Dylan Williams, Joshua Kast, Kate Remley, Rob Horansky
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

Channel Characterization and Delay Optimization for Industrial Wireless Control Systems

March 4, 2019
Author(s)
Xiaolin Jiang, Zhibo Pang, Rick Candell, Dacfey Dzung, Michele Luvisotto, Carlo Fischione
Wireless communication is gaining popularity in industry for its simple deployment, mobility and low cost. Ultra low latency and high reliability requirements of mission critical industrial applications are highly demanding for wireless communication, and

Propagating Measurement Uncertainty to Microwave Amplifier Nonlinear Behavioral Models

February 1, 2019
Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Laurence T. Stant, Martin J. Salter, Nick M. Ridler, Peter Aaen
We propagate for the first time correlated measurement uncertainties into a nonlinear behavioral model of a millimetre-wave amplifier. We make use of the NIST Microwave Uncertainty Framework to evaluate the uncertainties in large-signal electromagnetic

DETECTION OF INCUMBENT RADAR IN THE 3.5 GHZ CBRS BAND

November 25, 2018
Author(s)
Raied Caromi, Michael R. Souryal, Wen-Bin Yang
In the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service, 100 MHz of spectrum will be shared between commercial users and federal incumbents. Dynamic use of the band relies on a network of sensors dedicated to detecting the presence of federal incumbent signals and
