Government/Industry Interactions in the Global Standards System

December 11, 2003
Author(s)
Roger Marks, Robert E. Hebner
We review the evolution of the global standards system and its relationship to industry. We then discuss some of the approaches that governments have taken in order to modify the system for the benefit of domestic and worldwide economic development. We use

Correcting For Systematic Errors In One-Port Calibration-Standards

December 5, 2003
Author(s)
John R. Juroshek, Denis X. LeGolvan
This paper describes how to correct for systematic errors in one-port vector network analyzer calibrations that are caused by modeling errors in the one-port calibration standards. The paper shows how to correct an open-short-load calibration that was made

State-Space Modeling of Slow-Memory Effects Based on Multisine Vector Measurements

December 4, 2003
Author(s)
Dominique Schreurs, Kate Remley, M. Myslinski, R. Vandermissen
Non-linear microwave devices and circuits often exhibit slow-memory effects. When subjected to two-tone, or more general multisine excitations, the characteristics of these devices and circuits depend on the offset frequency between the tones. Since

An Optimal Vector-Network-Analyzer Calibration Algorithm

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Dylan Williams, Chih-Ming Wang, Uwe Arz
We present an iterative algorithm for calibrating vector network analyzers based on orthogonal distance regression. The algorithm features a robust, yet efficient, search algorithm, a complete error analysis that includes both random and systematic errors

Reversible axial-strain effect and extended strain limits in Y-Ba-Cu-O coatings on deformation-textured substrates

November 17, 2003
Author(s)
Najib Cheggour, John (Jack) W. Ekin, Cameron C. Clickner, D. T. Verebelyi, C. L. H. Thieme, Ron Feenstra, P Goyal
The dependence of transport critical-current density (J c) on axial tensile strain (ε) was measured at 76 K and self-magnetic field for YBa 2Cu 3O 7-δ (YBCO) coatings on buffered, deformation-textured substrates of pure Ni, Ni-5at.%-W, and Ni-10-at.%Cr-2

Polymer-derived SiCN composites with magnetic properties

November 1, 2003
Author(s)
Atanu Saha, Sandeep R. Shah, Rishi Raj, Stephen E. Russek
Composites consisting of particles of α-iron dispersed in silicon carbonitride (SiCN) were fabricated by a polymer route. The composites had iron inclusions with the same magnetization as bulk iron, but they resisted oxidation up to 500°C and had a

IEEE Standard 802.16 for Global Broadband Wireless Access

October 21, 2003
Author(s)
Roger Marks
Global standardization is a key issue for the success of broadband wireless access systems. The IEEE 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access, with hundreds of participants worldwide, has developed IEEE Standard 802.16, with its WirelessMAN air

Phase-Dependent RCS Measurements in the Presence of Outliers

October 19, 2003
Author(s)
Lorant A. Muth, Timothy Conn
Coherent radar cross section measurements on a target moving along the line-of-sight in free space will trace a circle centered on the origin of the complex (I,Q) plane. The presence of additional complex signals (for example, background, clutter, average

Uncertainty Analysis for Spherical Near-Field Measurement

October 19, 2003
Author(s)
Michael H. Francis, Ronald C. Wittmann
A general approach is introduced for estimating uncertainties in far-field paramenters from spherical near-field measurements. Although the analysis is incomplete at present, we expect that as the measurement radius increases, our results will transform

Uncertainty Analysis of RCS Calibrations at the Etcheron Valley Range

October 19, 2003
Author(s)
Lorant A. Muth, Dale M. Diamond, John Liles, James Adams
We have been developing the uncertainty analysis of RCS calibrations and measurements at the Etcheron Valley RCS outdoor ground-bounce facility in the 2-18 GHz range. In this study we report on the results of the uncertainty analysis primarily at 11.3 GHz

RF and IF mixer optimum matching impedances extracted by large-signal vectorial measurements

October 7, 2003
Author(s)
Alessandro Cidronali, Giovanni Loglio, Jeffrey Jargon, Kate Remley, I. Magrini, Donald C. DeGroot, Dominique Schreurs, Kuldip Gupta, Gianfranco Manes
This paper introduces a new technique that allows us to measure the admittance conversion matrix of a two-port device, using a Nonlinear Vector Network Analyzer. This method is applied to extract the conversion matrix of a 0.2 micron pHEMT, driven by a 4.8

RF Behavioural Modelling from Multisine Measurements: Influence of Excitation Type

October 7, 2003
Author(s)
Dominique Schreurs, M. Myslinski, Catherine A. Remley
Behavioural models for RF devices are typically based on large-signal RF measurements. Until now, those measurements were usually limited to single-tone excitations. In this work, we focus on the use of multisines in the experiment design, and, more

Averaged Transition Conditions for Electromagnetic Fields at a Metafilm

October 1, 2003
Author(s)
Edward Kuester, Mohamed Mohamed, Christopher L. Holloway, Melinda Picket-May
This work derives generalized sheettransition conditions (GSTCs) for the average electromagnetic fields across a surface distribution of electrically small scatterers characterized by electric and magnetic polarization densities. We cann such an

September 5, 2003
Author(s)
Geoffrey S. Beach, Thomas J. Silva, F. T. Parker, A. E. Berkowitz
The high-frequency magnetization dynamics of magnetically soft Co χFe 100-χ metal/native-oxide multilayers were studied as a function of alloy composition (10 less than or equal to} χ less than or equal to} 50) using a time-domain inductive technique. The

Induced Currents on an EUT in a Free-Space and a Modified TEM Cell Environment

August 19, 2003
Author(s)
Per E. Fornberg, Christopher L. Holloway, Perry F. Wilson
The finite-difference time-domain method is used to investigate whether the currents induced on an equipment under test (EUT) in a TEM cell are similar to those induced in an ideal free-space environment. The approach is to simulate an identical EUT in

Assessing A Loaded Reverberation Chamber: Calculating Threshold Metrics

August 18, 2003
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, David A. Hill, John M. Ladbury, Todd M. Lammers
In this paper we present an expression for two threshold metrics of a loaded reverberation chamber. One metric is based on the chamber quality factor (Q) and the other is based on a useable volume of a loaded reverberation chamber. These metrics are
