Estimating and Correcting the Device-Under-Test Transfer Function in Loaded Reverberation Chambers for Over-the-Air Tests

December 1, 2017
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Ryan J. Pirkl, Chih-Ming Wang, Damir Senic, Arvand Homer, Matt V. North, Maria G. Becker, Robert D. Horansky, Christopher L. Holloway
We assess the potential error in measurements of the power transfer function corresponding to a reverberation chamber set-up when different antenna types are used for the reference and DUT measurements. We derive a mathematical description of the transfer

Rydberg Atom Electric-Field Metrology

November 28, 2017
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons
We present a technique which shows great promise for realizing an atomic standard measurement of RF fields that is intrinsically calibrated, directly linked to the SI and atomic structural constants. This technique relies on the reponse of Rydberg atoms to

HIGH EFFICIENCY CARBON NANOTUBE THREAD ANTENNAS

Christopher L. Holloway, Aydin Babajgabni, Chris Long, David R. Novotny, Nate Orloff, E. A. Bengio, Damir Senic, Lauren W. Taylor, Dimitri E. Tsentalovich
Although previous research has explored the underlying theory of high-frequency behavior of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNT bundles for antennas, there is a gap in the literature for direct experimental measurements of radiation efficiency. These

Development of A New Atom-Based SI Traceable Electric-Field Metrology Technique

October 18, 2017
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Joshua A. Gordon
We are developing a fundamentally new atom-based approach for Electric (E) metrology. This technique has the capability of becoming a new international standard for E-field measurements and calibrations. Since this new approach is based on atomic

Atom-based RF electric field metrology above 100 GHz

July 16, 2017
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Joshua A. Gordon
While atom-based radio-frequency (RF) electric field probes have the potential to improve electric field measurements for a broad range of frequencies (from a few GHz to 100s of GHz) and field strengths (mV/m to kV/m), extending the measurement

Gentile, Peter B. Papazian, Ruoyu Sun, Damir Senic, Jelena Senic, Matthew T. Simons, Maria G. Becker, Dylan F. Williams, Richard A. Chamberlin, Jerome G. Cheron, Ari D. Feldman, Paul D. Hale, Mohit S. Mujumdar, Nada T. Golmie
National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) around the world are charged with supporting industry through improved measurement science and by providing a traceability path to fundamental physical standards. Mobile wireless communications have become a ubiquitous

Electric field metrology for SI traceability: Systematic measurement uncertainties in electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic vapor

May 24, 2017
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Joshua A. Gordon, Georg Raithel, dave Anderson
We investigate the relationship between the Rabi frequency ($\Ω_{RF}$, related to the applied electric field) and Autler-Townes (AT) splitting, when performing atom-based radio- frequency (RF) electric (E) field strength measurements using Rydberg states

An Overview of Atom-Based SI-Traceable Electric-Field Metrology

October 30, 2016
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons
We present an overview of radio frequency (RF) electric-field measurements using Rydberg atoms. This technique exploits the rich resonance response of these atoms which can occur across a large frequency range from 1 GHz-500 GHz. This measurement utilizes

October 3, 2016
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Jos Dortmans, Damir Senic, Chih-Ming Wang, Christopher L. Holloway
We present a method to predict the coherence bandwidth, delay spread and power transfer function of a reverberation chamber set-up. The method is based on the absorption cross section of the absorbing material that is added to the chamber. With an S

April 21, 2016
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Jos N. Dortmans, Catherine Weldon, Thomas B. Meurs, Chih-Ming Wang, Christopher L. Holloway, Perry F. Wilson
Reverberation chambers provide a repeatable test environment for laboratory over-the-air testing and represent a viable solution for testing large-form-factor wireless devices. Such tests often involve “imperfect chamber” configurations in which the

Estimating and Reducing Uncertainty in Reverberation-Chamber Characterization at Millimeter-Wave Frequencies

April 20, 2016
Author(s)
Damir Senic, Catherine A. Remley, Chih-Ming Wang, Dylan F. Williams, Christopher L. Holloway, Diogo Ribeiro, Ansgar T. Kirk
This contribution provides techniques for accurately characterizing the measurement uncertainty due to chamber setup for total radiated power measurements at millimeter-wave frequencies. The setup is based on the reverberation chamber as a well-known

March 14, 2016
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Joshua A. Gordon
In this work we demonstrate an approach for improved sensitivity in weak RF electric-field measurements using Rydberg EIT in an atomic vapor. This is accomplished by varying the RF frequency around a resonant atomic transition and extrapolating the weak on

Absorption Cross Section Measurements of a Human Body in a Reverberation Chamber

Damir Senic, Antonio Sarolic, Zbigniew M. Joskiewicz, Christopher L. Holloway
We provide the results of human body absorption cross section (ACS) measurements. The setup was based on the reverberation chamber as a well-known measurement environment capable of performing ACS measurements. The approach was supported by reference
