Aqueous blackbody calibration source for millimeter-wave/terahertz metrology

October 20, 2008
Author(s)
Charles Dietlein, Zoya Popovic, Erich N. Grossman
This paper describes a calibrated broadband emitter for the millimeter-wave through terahertz frequency regime, called the aqueous blackbody calibration source. Due to its extremely high absorption, liquid water is chosen as the emitter on the basis of

Source Stirring Technique for Reverberation Chambers; Experimental Investigation

September 8, 2008
Author(s)
Galen H. Koepke, Christopher L. Holloway, John M. Ladbury, David A. Hill, Valter Primiani, Paola Russo, Carlo Monteverde
The paper shows the source stirring technique from an experimental point of view. This technique exhibits good statistics for S21. The results illustrate that the field in the cavity has very similar characteristics to the field in a reverberation chamber

Use of Reverberation Chamber to Simulate the Power Delay Profile of a Wireless Environment

September 8, 2008
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, E Genender, Catherine A. Remley, John M. Ladbury, Galen H. Koepke, H Garbe
Multipath propagation environment effects, such as frequency-selective fading, have a strong impact on the quality of the wireless channel. For example, multipath can impact bit error rate (BER) differently than Gaussian noise. For testing wireless devices

NIST Tests of the Wireless Environment in Automobile Manufacturing Facilities

September 1, 2008
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Galen H. Koepke, Chriss A. Grosvenor, John M. Ladbury, Dennis G. Camell, Jason B. Coder, Robert Johnk
This report describes tests carried out by members of the NIST Electromagnetics Division to study the wireless environment in automotive manufacturing facilities. Testing was performed at three facilities during 2006 and 2007. We studied an assembly plant

Electromagnetic Airframe Penetration Measurements of a Beechcraft Premier IA

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Chriss A. Grosvenor, David R. Novotny, Dennis G. Camell, Galen H. Koepke, Robert Johnk
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has recently completed shielding effectiveness/penetration studies on three different aircraft types for the Federal Aviation Administration. The studies are used to understand the cavity coupling

Microwave Characterization of Semiconductors with a Split-Cylinder Cavity

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Billy F. Riddle, James R. Baker-Jarvis, Michael D. Janezic
In this paper we demonstrate the use of a split-cylinder cavity for characterizing semiconductors over a temperature range of 173 K (-100oC) to 373 K (+100oC) at microwave frequencies (9-30 GHz). Complex permittivity measurements of silicon (Si) and

Chamber Imaging Using Spherical Near-Field Scanning

July 5, 2008
Author(s)
Ronald C. Wittmann, Michael H. Francis, Randy Direen
We discuss recent measurements performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that were used to characterize the incident fields within a test volume and to produce images of the test chamber.

Near-field Scanning Measurements: Theory and practice

July 3, 2008
Author(s)
Michael H. Francis, Ronald C. Wittmann
This chapter summarizes theoretical and practical aspects of near-field scanning methods. These methods allow complete characterization of the transmitting or receiving properties using measurements made in close proximity to an antenna.
