Electromagnetic Penetration Studies for Three Different Aircraft

August 17, 2009
Author(s)
Chriss A. Grosvenor, David R. Novotny, Dennis G. Camell, Galen H. Koepke, Robert Johnk, Nino Canales
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has completed penetration studies on three different aircraft for the Federal Aviation Administration. These studies are used to understand cavity coupling characteristics between antennas placed at

Measurements to Support Public Safety Communications: Attenuation and Variability of 750 MHz Radio Wave Signals in Four Large Building Structures: NIST Technical Note 1552

August 7, 2009
Author(s)
William F. Young, Kate Remley, John M. Ladbury, Christopher L. Holloway, Chriss A. Grosvenor, Galen H. Koepke, Sander Floris, Wouter Numan, Andrea Garuti
In this report, we investigate radio communication problems faced by emergency responders (firefighters, police, and emergency medical personnel) in disaster situations. A fundamental challenge to radio communications into and out of large buildings is the

Optimizing Authentication in Media Independent Handovers using IEEE 802.21

August 6, 2009
Author(s)
Antonio Izquierdo Manzanares, Nada T. Golmie, Richard A. Rouil
In this paper we study the performance of the authentication process in media independent handovers, and consider the impact of using IEEE 802.21 link triggers to achieve seamless mobility. We describe all interactions between the 802.21 services and the

Practical Applications of Nonlinear Measurements

June 12, 2009
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley
We discuss the limitations of vector network analyzers in the measurement of nonlinear devices and circuits, including their inability to measure the relative phase between frequency components and the actual impedance in which a device is embedded. The

Backbone Construction for Heterogeneous Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

June 10, 2009
Author(s)
Yi Qian, Hui Guo, Nader Moayeri, Kejie Lu
In this paper, we propose a backbone construction scheme over heterogeneous ad hoc networks, where the network nodes have different characteristics such as communication capacity, processing power and energy resource. Most of the wireless backbone

Test Tool for Industrial Ethernet Network Performance

June 5, 2009
Author(s)
James D. Gilsinn, Freemon Johnson
The number of devices that implement Ethernet interfaces on the factory floor is growing at an exponential rate along with the adoption of industrial-grade Ethernet networks on the plant floor. In addition to the sheer number of devices using industrial
