REFLECTIVITY STUDIES OF PASSIVE MICROWAVE CALIBRATION TARGETS AND ABSORPTIVE MATERIALS

July 30, 2010
Author(s)
Dazhen Gu, Amanda Cox, Derek A. Houtz, Dave K. Walker, James P. Randa, Robert L. Billinger
We report the characterization of blackbody reflections as a part of the recent progress on the development of brightness standards for microwave remote sensing at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).Three blackbody targets at variable

Examining the True Effectiveness of Loading a Reverberation Chamber

July 29, 2010
Author(s)
Jason Coder, John M. Ladbury, Christopher L. Holloway, Kate Remley
In this paper we explore how placing the same amount of absorber in different locations within a reverberation chamber can have different loading effects. This difference can have a significant impact on measurement reproducibility, both for measurements

COMPARISON OF NEAR-FIELD METHODS AT NIST K. MacReynolds, M.H. Francis and D. Tamura

July 14, 2010
Author(s)
Katherine MacReynolds, Michael H. Francis, Douglas T. Tamura
A comparison of the planar, spherical and cylindrical near-field techniques was completed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for a Ku-band Cassegrain reflector antenna. This paper discusses the measurement results for the near-to

Calibration service for instruments that measure laser beam diameter

July 1, 2010
Author(s)
Shao Yang
This document describes the calibration service for instruments that measure laser beam diameter. An overview of the measurement procedures, measurement system, and uncertainty analysis is presented. A sample measurement report is included in this document

Electro-optic sampling for traceable high-speed electrical measurements

May 23, 2010
Author(s)
Paul D. Hale, Dylan F. Williams
We will describe how the complex frequency response of a high-speed photodiode is calibrated by use of electro-optic sampling. Our uncertainty analysis includes a unique covariance-matrix based method that allows us to transform uncertainties between the
