Configurable Robotic Millimeter-Wave Antenna Facility

April 13, 2015
Author(s)
Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny, Michael H. Francis, Ronald C. Wittmann, Miranda L. Butler
This paper introduces the Configurable Robotic Millimeter-Wave Antenna (CROMMA) facility by the Antenna Metrology Lab at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NIST set out to develop an antenna measurement facility that would be

Traceability for Microwave Power Measurements: Past, Present, and Future

April 13, 2015
Author(s)
Ronald A. Ginley
The need for traceable microwave power measurements for use in communications, defense, spectral line investigation, molecular particle signature identification, material property characterization and others is well established. Traceability for power

Measuring a Device's Susceptibility to LTE: Preliminary Approaches

March 15, 2015
Author(s)
Jason B. Coder, John M. Ladbury
Previous testing has shown that measuring a device’s susceptibility to a radiated, broadband signal can present a different set of challenges than those faced when testing with a narrow-band signal. Decisions ranging from choosing a measurement facility to

Widebend CTL cell to measure operating range of UHF RFID

March 5, 2015
Author(s)
Jehoon Yun, YongChae Jeong, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
A wideband coupled transmission line (CTL) cell to measure the operating range of an UHF RFID (ORUR) is presented. Also, an ORUR test system is proposed to increase the isolation to more than 55 dB. It is shown that the ORUR measured by this proposed cell

Microwave Near-Field Imaging of Two-Dimensional Semiconductors

January 27, 2015
Author(s)
Samuel Berweger, Joel Weber, Jimmy J. Li, Jesus M. Velazquez, Adam Pieterick, Norman A. Sanford, Albert V. Davydov, Thomas Mitchell (Mitch) Wallis, Pavel Kabos
Optimizing new generations of 2D devices based on van der Waals materials will require techniques capable of measuring variations in electronic properties in situ and with nanometer spatial resolution. We perform scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) imaging

Experimental Bounds on Classical Random Field Theories

December 10, 2014
Author(s)
Joffrey K. Peters, Sergey V. Polyakov, Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall
Alternative theories to quantum mechanics motivate important fundamental tests of our understanding and description of the smallest physical systems. Here we place experimental limits on those classical field theories which result in power-dependent

A geometric description of nonreciprocity in coupled two-mode systems

October 16, 2014
Author(s)
Leonardo M. Ranzani, Jose A. Aumentado
We explore the concept of nonreciprocity in coupled two-mode systems using a geometric mapping to the Poincaré sphere. From this perspective, we recast the requirements for nonreciprocity in terms of rotation and inversion symmetry arguments for the vector

Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Evaluation in a Low Rician K-Factor Reverberation-Chamber Environment

October 15, 2014
Author(s)
Chih-Ming Wang, Catherine A. Remley, Ansgar T. Kirk, Ryan J. Pirkl, Christopher L. Holloway, Dylan F. Williams, Paul D. Hale
In this paper we study statistical methods for estimating the Rician K-factor when this parameter is small. A fiducial approach for making statistical inference on the K-factor is discussed. The approach requires a Monte Carlo method to compute the
