Sources of Uncertainty in the Nose-to-Nose Sampler Calibration Method

October 1, 2003

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson

We analyze the nose-to-nose (ntn) method for use as an accurate sampler calibration method. The variations in the measurement of the sampler impulse response using the ntn method are presented, and the validity of the assertion that the kick-out pulse is

The IPC-2252, Design Guide for RF/Microwave Circuit Boards

September 1, 2003

Author(s)

Nicholas G. Paulter Jr.

The IPC-2252,'Design Guide for RF/Microwave Circuit Boards,'[1] (superceding the IPC-D-316) was published in July 2002. The IPC-2252 provides information pertaining to the design, fabrication, and test of printed wiring board used in high-frequency (100

Measuring the Response of High-Speed Pulse Generators and Samplers

August 1, 2003

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a service for measuring parameters associated with the step response of high-speed (transition durations > 7 ps) samplers and the output signals of high-speed pulse generators. These

IEEE TC-10: What's It All About?

May 1, 2003

Author(s)

Thomas E. Linnenbrink, W. B. Boyer, Nicholas Paulter, S. J. Tilden

The IEEE TC-10 comprises three working groups that have or are generating standards related to the measurement of signals. One of these groups has recently completed the IEEE Std. 1241, "Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Analog-to-Digital

The IEEE Standard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms, Std-181

May 1, 2003

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson, Jerome J. Blair

The IEEE has revised the now withdrawn IEEE standards on pulse techniques and definitions. This revision includes adding and deleting definitions, clarifying existing definitions, providing examples of different waveform types, updating text to reflect

The National Institute of Justice Standards for Hand-Held and Walk-Through Metal Detectors Used in Concealed Weapon and Contraband Detection

January 1, 2003

Author(s)

Nicholas G. Paulter Jr.

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards for hand-held and walk-through metal detectors were initially published in 1974 and later revised in 2000 and 2002 to accommodate the improvements in metal detector design and component technology and to

Metal Detector Studies: Research Materials

August 1, 2002

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

NIST's High-Speed Pulse Parameter Measurement Service

May 21, 2002

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a me surement service, number 65200S, "Fast Repetitive Pulse Transition Parameters," for measuring the impulse response of high-speed (transition durations > 7 ps) samplers and the output

The Status of the IEEE Standard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms

May 1, 2002

Author(s)

Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Donald R. Larson

In recent years, the IEEE has been revising the now expired IEEE standards on pulse techniques and definitions. This revision includes adding and deleting definitions, clarifying existing definitions, providing examples of different waveform types

Pulse parameter uncertainty analysis

January 1, 2002

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson

A detailed uncertainty analysis for NIST's pulse parameter measurement service is presented that represents the new pulse parameter mesurement and extraction processes. Uncertainties for pulse amplitude, transition duration, overshoot, and under(pre)shoot

An Assessment on the Accuracy of Time-Domain Reflectometry for Measuring the Characteristic Impedance of Transmission Lines

October 1, 2001

Author(s)

Nicholas G. Paulter Jr.

An Examination of the Spectra of the Kick-Out Pulse for a Proposed Sampler Characterization Method.

October 1, 2001

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson

The spectra of the "kick-out" pulses used in a proposed sampler calibration method [1]-[3] were examined. The proposed calibration method requires that the amplitude of these pulses be linear with an adjustment parameter called the offset voltage. The kick

An Uncertainty Analysis of the High-Speed Pulse Parameter Measurements at NIST

September 1, 2001

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson

A detailed uncertainty analysis for NIST's pulse parameter measurement service is presented that represents the new pulse parameter measurement and extraction processes. Uncertainties for pulse amplitude, transition duration, overshoot, and under(pre)shoot
