Restricted Domain Compressive Sensing for Antenna Metrology

November 21, 2022
Author(s)
Marc Valdez, Alex Yuffa, Michael Wakin
In this paper, we prove a compressive sensing guarantee for restricted measurement domains in spherical near-field to far-field transformations for antenna metrology. We achieve this by first defining Slepian functions on a measurement sub-domain $R$ of

Radio Spectrum Occupancy Measurements Amid COVID-19 Telework and Telehealth

Dan Kuester, Xifeng Lu, Dazhen Gu, Azizollah Kord, Jake Rezac, Katie Carson, Marla L. Dowell, Elizabeth Eyeson, Ari Feldman, Keith Forsyth, Vu Le, John Marts, Mike McNulty, Kyle Neubarth, Andre Rosete, Matthew Ryan, Maija Teraslina
During the COVID-19 pandemic, NIST began a targeted campaign of measurements of averaged power and occupancy rate in the radio spectrum. The purpose was to sample real environments to offer timely insights into data infrastructure where it might be

An SDR-Based Performance Measurement of LTE and WLAN Coexistence

September 12, 2022
Author(s)
Nadia Yoza Mitsuishi, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
In this paper, we report on a software-defined radio (SDR) based test setup to emulate and evaluate the performance of a few wireless coexistence scenarios. The first case we study consists of two long-term evolution (LTE) downlink channels from adjacent

Reference Measurements of Error Vector Magnitude

August 29, 2022
Author(s)
Paritosh Manurkar, Christopher Silva, Joshua Kast, Rob Horansky, Dylan Williams, Kate Remley
We demonstrate the suitability of the IEEE P1765 Reference Waveforms in ascertaining EVM and the associated uncertainties by performing traceable measurements on a calibrated equivalent-time sampling oscilloscope at 44 GHz. With this knowledge, a user can

mmWave Modulated-Signal Measurements for OTA Test

June 24, 2022
Author(s)
Joshua Kast, Paritosh Manurkar, Kate Remley, Rob Horansky, Dylan Williams
We apply a large-signal network analyzer to the measurement of arbitrarily long repetitive millimeter-wave modulated signals transmitted by user equipment generating intermodulation products in an over-the-air test environment. The measurements take

Multi-User MIMO Enabled Virtual Reality in IEEE 802.11ay WLAN

May 16, 2022
Author(s)
Jiayi Zhang, Steve Blandino, Neeraj Varshney, Jian Wang, Camillo Gentile, Nada T. Golmie
Virtual reality (VR) coupled with 360° video has been used in a variety of areas, including gaming, remote learning, and healthcare, among others. The 360° video on which VR applications are based today is mostly low resolution and, in order to improve the

Challenges for 5G and Beyond

May 11, 2022
Author(s)
Jelena Senic
In this paper, we discuss some challenges for 5G-and-beyond communications systems based on our measurements conducted with millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel sounders. One study analyzes path loss at 28 GHz vs. 83 GHz and in line-of-sight conditions vs. non

Methodology for Measuring the Frequency Dependence of Multipath Channels Across the Millimeter-Wave Bands

April 19, 2022
Author(s)
Damla Guven, Ben Jamroz, Jack Chuang, Camillo Gentile, Rob Horansky, Kate Remley, Dylan Williams, Jeanne Quimby, Rod Leonhardt
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications promise Gigabits-per-second data rates thanks to the availability of large swaths of bandwidth between 10–100 GHz. Although cellular operators prefer the lower portions of the bands due to the general belief that

A 110 GHz Comb Generator in a 250 nm InP HBT Technology

April 18, 2022
Author(s)
Jerome Cheron, Dylan Williams, Richard Chamberlin, Miguel Urteaga, Paul D. Hale, Rob Jones, Ari Feldman
We report a monolithic microwave integrated-circuit (MMIC) comb generator capable of producing a repetitive narrow pulse (7.1 ps pulse duration) with sharp edges (4.2 ps falling time). The circuit is designed in a 250 nm Indium Phosphide (InP)

Measurements of IP3 and P1dB for Spectrum Monitoring with Software Defined Radios

March 30, 2022
Author(s)
Mike McNulty, Dazhen Gu, Dan Kuester, Payam Nayeri
This paper discusses methodology for characterizing linearity summary parameters of software-defined radio receivers. First, we introduce a highly automated testbed for 1-dB compression point (P1dB) and third-order input intercept point (IIP3). With this

Quantifying Receiver Nonlinearities in VNA Measurements for the WR-15 Waveguide Band

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Angela Stelson, Aaron Hagerstrom, Jeffrey Jargon, Chris Long
Scattering (S-) parameters are fundamental to numerous microwave quantities including antenna factors, microwave power, and phase. The uncertainty in S-parameter measurements is influenced by the test setup, including instrument noise, drift, position of

Analyzing 5G NR-U and WiGig Coexistence with Multiple-Beam Directional LBT

February 15, 2022
Author(s)
Yao Ma, Susanna Mosleh, Jason Coder
The mmWave radio frequency (RF) spectrum allocations provide a large bandwidth and an excellent dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) opportunity for emerging 5G New-Radio unlicensed (NR-U) and Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) services. To support constructive DSS, we
