Jehoon Yun, YongChae Jeong, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
A wideband coupled transmission line (CTL) cell to measure the operating range of an UHF RFID (ORUR) is presented. Also, an ORUR test system is proposed to increase the isolation to more than 55 dB. It is shown that the ORUR measured by this proposed cell

Software for Dielectric characterization by microwave cavity perturbation corrected for non-uniform fields*

Nathan D. Orloff, Jan Obrzut, Christian J. Long, Thomas F. Lam, Pavel Kabos, David R. Novotny, James C. Booth, James A. Liddle
This software package was developed to analyze microwave cavity perturbation data in order to determine material dielectric properties. Example software is provided to assist with data acquisition and organization. Specifically, it is de-signed to be used

Dielectric characterization by microwave cavity perturbation corrected for non-uniform fields

July 23, 2014

Nathan D. Orloff, Jan Obrzut, Christian J. Long, Thomas F. Lam, James C. Booth, David R. Novotny, James A. Liddle, Pavel Kabos
The non-uniform fields that occur due to the slot in the cavity through which the sample is inserted and those due to the sample geometry itself decrease the accuracy of dielectric characterization by cavity perturbation at microwave frequencies. To

INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON OF KU-BAND STANDARD GAIN HORN CHARACTERIZATION

Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, David R. Novotny, Michael H. Francis, Jason B. Coder, Joshua A. Gordon
International comparison of antenna measurement results between national measurement laboratories supports interoperability of communication equipment in today’s world market. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the pilot National

Terahertz Active and Passive Imaging

April 11, 2014
Author(s)
Erich N. Grossman, Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny, Richard A. Chamberlin
We describe the results of bistatic scattering measurements covering 325-650 GHz on a series of wellcharacterized random rough test surfaces. These have implications for active THz imagers that use coherent sources for illumination. The mean scattered

Measurement and Simulation of Millimeter Wave Scattering Cross-sections from Steel-Reinforced Concrete

Ahmed M. Hassan, Edward Garboczi, Robert McMichael, Jack T. Surek, Mark D. Stiles, David F. Plusquellic, Virgil Provenzano, Paul E. Stutzman, Shuangzhen S. Wang, Sung Kim, Michael D. Janezic, Jason Coder, Nicos Martys, David R. Novotny
Some iron oxide corrosion products exhibit antiferromagnetic magnetic resonances (AFMR) at around 100 GHz at normal temperatures. AFMR can be detected in laboratory conditions, which serves as the basis for a new non-destructive spectroscopic method for

On the Use of Phase Data When Conducting an Extrapolation Measurement

November 1, 2013
Author(s)
Jason B. Coder, David R. Novotny, Michael H. Francis, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
The extrapolation measurement technique has been used with the three antenna method for more than 40 years, to determine absolute antenna gain and polarization data. The critical part of the extrapolation technique is an insertion loss measurement that is

Using a Laser Tracker to Actively Coordinate the Motion of a 3m Industrial Robot to Within 50 Microns: An ongoing effort to accurately determine and correct positioning errors.

October 1, 2013

David R. Novotny, Joshua A. Gordon, Jason B. Coder, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Michael H. Francis
We are using industrial-grade robotics guided by a metrology-grade laser tracker to perform antenna calibrations at mmWave frequencies. We are using a 3 m-reach robot to spherically scan a milli-meter Wave (mmWave) probe around an antenna under test (AUT)
