The New Large Antenna Positioning System for Over-The-Air Testing at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

April 8, 2018
Author(s)
Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, David R. Novotny, Josh Gordon, Alexandra Curtin, Michael S. Allman, Kim Hassett, Quang Ton
This paper introduces the new Large Antenna Positioning System (LAPS) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For the last eight years NIST has been pioneering the use of robotics for antenna measurements. Starting with the

The Multi-Robot Large Antenna Positioning System for Over-The-Air Testing at the National Institute of Standards and Technology1

David R. Novotny, Josh Gordon, Michael S. Allman, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Alexandra Curtin
NIST has developed an antenna range that uses coordinated industrial robotic systems for measuring milli-meter wave (mmWave) antenna patterns and gain. The Configurable Robotic milli-meter Antenna (CROMMA) facility employs a multi-axis articulated serial

Validation of Robotics for Antenna Measurements

Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
This paper presents recent measurements using the newly developed Configurable Robotic Millimeter-Wave Antenna (CROMMA) facility by the Antenna Metrology Lab at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NIST set out to develop an antenna

An All-Metal, 3-D-Printed CubeSat Feed Horn: An assessment of performance conducted at 118.7503 GHz using a robotic antenna range

February 20, 2017
Author(s)
Josh Gordon, David R. Novotny, Ronald C. Wittmann, Michael Francis, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Alexandra Curtin, Miranda L. Butler, Albin Gasiewski, Lavanya Periasamy
Three-dimensional (3-D) printing is finding applications across many areas and may be a useful technology for antenna fabrication for cube satellites (CubeSats). However, the quality of an antenna produced using 3-D printing must be considered if this

Assessment of a 3D-Printed Aluminum Corrugated Feed Horn at 118.7503 GHz

Josh Gordon, David R. Novotny, Ronald C. Wittmann, Michael H. Francis, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Periasamy Lavanya, Albin Gasiewski
All-metal 3D printing is investigated as a viable option for millimeter wave applications. 3D printing is finding applications across many areas and may be a useful technology for antenna fabrication. The ability to rapidly fabricate custom antenna

RF Characterization of Latex Coated Pyramidal Absorber

Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
We present a test procedure and results comparing RF performance of traditional pyramidal absorber to that with latex coating. Measurements are performed from 4-12 GHz, but the same measurement methodology can be applied other frequency bands. Absorber

Antenna Metrology 100-500 GHz: A New Approach

May 16, 2016
Author(s)
Perry F. Wilson, Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
A typical near-field scanning range for antenna measurements is based on simple translation stages (planar) or stacked rotators (spherical), or both (cylindrical). Above 100 GHz problems arise in both specialized waveguide components, such as precision

Multi-purpose Configurable Range for Antenna Testing Up To 220 GHz*

April 9, 2016
