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)

Polymer Membranes to Quarter-Wave Match Gaussian Optics

Jack T. Surek, Jason B. Coder, Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny
We demonstrate that a simple quarter wave match designed for 110 GHz in WR10 waveguide reduces reflected power by a factor of ten at high density polyethylene (HDPE)-air interfaces. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based membranes that are expanded by

A SMALL-SAMPLE, BI-DIRECTIONAL SCATTERING MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FROM 200-500 GHz

October 26, 2012

David R. Novotny, Josh Gordon, Edwin J. Heilweil, Brian C. Stillwell, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Erich N. Grossman, Shu Z. Lo
Beginning the fall of 2012, NIST will be providing scattering measurements for other government agencies. We present performance results of a bi-directional scattering measurement system in the 200-500 GHz range. The goal is to provide dense-spectrum, bi

ROBOTICALLY CONTROLLED MM-WAVE NEAR-FIELD PATTERN RANGE

October 21, 2012

Josh Gordon, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Jason Coder, Michael Francis
The Antenna Metrology Lab at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder Colorado has developed a robotically controlled near-field pattern range for measuring antennas and quasi-optical components from 50 GHz to 500 GHz. This range is

Measurement of Shielding Effectiveness of Electrically-Small Enclosures

Christopher L. Holloway, Colton R. Dunlap, John M. Ladbury, Joshua A. Gordon, Jason B. Coder, Galen H. Koepke
In the following we propose a technique for determining the shielding effectiveness (SE) an electrically small enclosure. In particular, we use this technique to explore the shielding characteristics of a rectangular box used to shield a satellite based

Fluid interactions with metafilm/metasurfaces for tuning, sensing, and microwave assisted chemical processes

May 25, 2011
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, James C. Booth, James R. Baker-Jarvis, David R. Novotny, Sung Kim, Yu Y. Wang
In this paper we demonstrate tunability of a metafilm, which is the two-dimensional equivalent of a metamaterial, also referred to as a metasurface, by changing the permittivity in a micro-fluidic channel that interacts with the metafilm. Numerical

Quantum-Based SI Traceable Electric-Field Probe

July 25, 2010
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Steven R. Jefferts, Thomas P. Heavner
We are presently investigating the feasibility of developing a technique that will allow direct traceable microwave electric field (E-field) measurements. The new approach is based on atomic rf-resonance spectroscopy, where an applied electrical field
