This technical report details an effort to design, demonstrate, and validate a test methodology to measure the impacts of Long Term Evolution (LTE) User Equipment (UE) emissions in the advanced wireless services 3 (AWS-3) band on aeronautical mobile

NB-IoT Devices in Reverberation Chambers: A Comprehensive Uncertainty Analysis

February 17, 2021
Author(s)
Catherine Remley, Anouk Hubrechsen, Robert Jones, Robert Horansky, Vincent Neylon, Laurens A. Bronckers
New protocols related to internet-of-things applications may introduce previously unnoticed measurement effects in reverberation chambers due to the narrowband nature of these protocols. Such technologies also require less loading to meet the coherence

Wireless User Requirements for the Factory Workcell

February 8, 2021
Author(s)
Karl Montgomery, Richard Candell, Mohamed Hany, Yongkang Liu
Wireless communication is becoming crucial to advanced manufacturing. Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing depend on networked industrial automation systems. The term Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has been used to describe the deployment of

Correction of the Measured Phase of the Radiation Pattern of Millimeter-Wave Antennas

December 14, 2020
Author(s)
Antonius van den Biggelaar, Ben Jamroz, Dylan Williams, A. B. Smolders, U. Johannsen
The results of a radiation pattern measurement of a WR-28 open-ended waveguide (OEWG) are shown. At higher frequencies, the wavelength becomes shorter, making phase measurements very sensitive to positioning and alignment errors. The lack of symmetry in

Smart Manufacturing Testbed for the Advancement of Wireless Adoption in the Factory

November 10, 2020
Author(s)
Rick Candell, Yongkang Liu, Mohamed Hany, Karl Montgomery, Sebti Foufou
Wireless communication is a key enabling technology central to the advancement of the goals of the Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing concept. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology are constructing a testbed to aid in the adoption

Deterministic Move Lists for Federal Incumbent Protection in the CBRS Band

October 13, 2020
Author(s)
Michael R. Souryal, Thao T. Nguyen
The 3.5 GHz citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) band in the U.S. is a key portion of mid- band spectrum shared between commercial operators and existing federal and non-federal incumbents in the band. To protect the federal incumbents from harmful

A Case Study of Medical Device Wireless Coexistence Evaluation

October 1, 2020
Author(s)
Mohamed Al-Kalaa, Joshua Guag, Seth Seidman, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
This article aims to provide a narrative for addressing wireless coexistence in medical devices to help medical device developers, test engineers, and regulatory affairs personnel throughout the device life cycle. Accordingly, we present a case-study

Digital Radiometer for Traceable Spectrum Sensing

September 14, 2020
Author(s)
Xifeng Lu, Dazhen Gu, Daniel G. Kuester
This paper describes a metrology instrument designed for detecting noise and interference in digital communications. A quadrature detector downconverts in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) channels, which are each digitized at high speed. This architecture

Industrial Wireless Deployments in the Navy Shipyard

August 30, 2020
Author(s)
Rick Candell, Karl Montgomery, Yongkang Liu, Mohamed Hany
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) have partnered to investigate the application of digital manufacturing methods and technologies within the navy shipyard. As a part of the effort, wireless

Over-the-Air Testing of Cellular Large-Form-Factor Internet-of-Things Devices in Reverberation Chambers

August 4, 2020
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Clive Bax, Edwin Mendivil, Michael Foegelle, John Kvarnstrand, Derek Skousen, David S?nchez-Hern?ndez, Miguel Garcia-Fernandez, Lorien Chang, Elvis Yen, Johnny Gutierrez, Justin Harbour
We demonstrate the applicability of the reverberation chamber for over-the-air testing of power- based metrics for cellular-enabled wireless internet-of-things devices. A recent industry- sponsored round robin illustrates agreement between labs to within

Over-The-Air Calibration of a Dual-Beam Dual-Polarized 28-GHz Phased-Array Channel Sounder

July 9, 2020
Author(s)
Sung Yun Jun, Derek Caudill, Jelena Senic, Camillo Gentile, Jack Chuang, Nada T. Golmie
This paper describes an over-the-air calibration procedure for the impulse response of a 28-GHz phased-array antenna channel sounder. The silicon-germanium (SiGe) antenna board is composed from two 8x8 planar arrays; each array can generate a distinct beam

Penetration Loss at 60 GHz for Indoor-to-Indoor and Outdoor-to-Indoor Mobile Scenarios

July 8, 2020
Author(s)
Sung Yun Jun, Derek Caudill, Jack Chuang, Peter B. Papazian, Anuraag Bodi, Camillo Gentile, Jelena Senic, Nada T. Golmie
This paper investigates the penetration loss of an office building in indoor-to-indoor and outdoor-to-indoor mobile scenarios. The measurements were collected using our 60-GHz double- directional switched-antenna channel sounder. During measurement, the

Blind Calibration of Phase Drift in Millimeter-Wave Channel Sounders

June 11, 2020
Author(s)
Jack Chuang, Jelena Senic, Chunmei Liu, Camillo Gentile, Sung Yun Jun, Derek Caudill
Millimeter-wave channel sounders are much more sensitive to phase drift than their microwave counterparts by virtue of shorter wavelength. This matters when coherently phasing (electronic or mechanical) antenna scans collected over seconds, minutes, or
