Ultra-Wideband Antenna Pattern Characterization in a Non-Ideal EM Facility

November 8, 2002
Author(s)
Jason Veneman, David R. Novotny, Chriss A. Grosvenor, Robert T. Johnk, Seturnino Canales
We present and analyze a procedure for performing relative, ultra-wideband antenna pattern measurements in a non-ideal EM facility. Ultra-wideband, short-impulse, TEM horn transmission measurements were performed and compared with computer-modeled

Ultra-Wideband TEM-Horn Antenna Design using Numerical Methods

November 8, 2002
Author(s)
Chriss A. Grosvenor, David R. Novotny, Jason Veneman, Seturnino Canales
TEM, time-domain antennas are designed to reproduce accurately the time characteristics of an impulsive, incoming field. The response to the fields must be constant in amplitude and linear in phase for minimal distortion. Numerical techniques are employed

Monte Carlo Simulation of Noise Parameter Uncertainties

November 1, 2002
Author(s)
James P. Randa, Wojciech Wiatr
We present results for uncertainties in noise-parameter measurements, obtained using a Monte Carlo simulation of the measurements. Sets of data were generated to simulate measurements on a low-noise amplifier, with given uncertainties in the underlying

Noise-Parameter Uncertainties: A Monte Carlo Simulation

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
James P. Randa
This paper reports the formulation and results of a Monte Carlo study of uncertainties in noise-parameter measurements. The simulator permits the computation of the dependence of the uncertainty in the noise parameters on uncertainties in the underlying

Pulsed inductive microwave magnetometer

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
Anthony B. Kos, Thomas J. Silva, Pavel Kabos
We describe the apparatus, software, and measurement procedures for a pulsed inductive microwave magnetometer (PIMM). PIMM can measure the dynamical properties of materials used in recording heads for magnetic storage applications and it can be used as a

Rabi Oscillations in a Large Josephson Junction Qubit

September 9, 2002
Author(s)
John M. Martinis, Sae Woo Nam, Joe Aumentado, C Urbina
We have designed and operated a circuit based on a large-area current-biased Josephson junction whose two lower energy quantum levels could be used to implement a solid-state qubit. The circuit allows measurement of the qubit states with a fidelity of 85%

NbN Film Development for PHEB Devices

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Eyal Gerecht, V. A. Bhupathiraju, Erich N. Grossman, Jeffrey W. Nicholson, Fernando Rodriguez-Morales, Dazhen Gu, Sigfrid Yngvesson
We have developed a process for fabricating a thin NbN film at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, CO. A two-fold approach can be taken. The first is to maximize the critical temperature of the superconducting device (growing

Noise Temperature for Nb DHEB Mixer Receiver for Far-Infrared Spectroscopy

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Eyal Gerecht, Carl D. Reintsema, Erich N. Grossman, A. L. Betz, R. T. Boreiko
We are reporting a noise temperature measured on a diffusion-cooled hot electron bolometeric (DHEB) mixer designed for a heterodyne focal plane array to study lines with frequencies of 2 THz and above. Our fabrication process utilizes selective ion milling

Shielding Effectiveness Measurements Using the Direct Illumination Technique

August 20, 2002
Author(s)
Chriss A. Grosvenor, David R. Novotny, Robert T. Johnk, Seturnino Canales, Jason Veneman
In this paper we discuss the direct illumination and reverberation chamber techniques for measuring shielding effectiveness. using the reverberation chamber as our reference, we explain the differences between the measurements and corrections applied to

Pseudo-Isotropic Source for Anechoic Chamber Qualification

August 19, 2002
Author(s)
Perry F. Wilson, John M. Ladbury, Galen H. Koepke
A pseudo-isotropic source is presented. The source consists of an electrically-large cavity with internal excitation (horn antenna), a variable internal boundary condition (a rotating paddle as in a reverberation chamber), and randomly placed apertures for

New Techniques for Calibrating Across-the-Road Traffic Radars

August 17, 2002
Author(s)
Claude Weil, Dennis G. Camell, David R. Novotny, Robert T. Johnk, Arthur Ondrejka
We discuss simulator units for calibrating across-the-road Doppler traffic radars used in highway speed enforcement. Two units of essentially the same design were developed, one operating at K-Band (24 GHz) and the other at Ka-Band (35 GHz). The signal

Phantom Materials for Metal Detector Research

August 17, 2002
Author(s)
James R. Baker-Jarvis, Raian K. Kaiser, Michael D. Janezic
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the characterization of materials that mimic the electromagnetic characteristics of the human body from low frequencies to 10 MHz and over a temperature range of 15 C. to 40 C. The materials studied were: 1) a

Remote, Near-Field Measurement of Large Antennas

August 17, 2002
Author(s)
Ronald C. Wittmann, Michael H. Francis
It is difficult to characterize many antenna systems in a laboratory environment. Size is the major consideration, but an increasing number of sophisticated antennas are being placed at remote sites where they are simply inaccessible. Of particular concern

Concealed Weapons Detection using an Uncooled Millimeter-wave Microbolometer System

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
Erich N. Grossman, V. A. Bhupathiraju, Aaron J. Miller, Carl D. Reintsema
We describe the status of, and present the first imagery obtained using, an active uncooled mm-wave microbolometer-based imaging system. The microbolometers consist of 2 mm x 6 mm x .02 mm Nb films, coupled to the incident field by annular slot antennas

Author(s)
James R. Baker-Jarvis, Raian K. Kaiser, Michael D. Janezic, Nicholas Paulter, Ken L. Stricklett
The purpose of the work described in this report is to develop and characterize materials that mimic the electromagnetic characteristics of the human body. The materials will be used to simulate the relevant electromagnetic properties of the human body

Controlled Barrier Modification in Nb/NbOx/Ag Metal Insulator Metal Tunnel Diodes

June 15, 2002
Author(s)
Erich N. Grossman, Todd E. Harvey, Carl D. Reintsema
The nonlinear electrical transport properties of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diodes based on a barrier of naturally grown niobium oxide have been measured at room temperature and analyzed. In most cases excellent agreement is found between the
