Quasi-Deterministic-Channel-Propagation Model for a Data Center at 60 GHz

April 30, 2018
Author(s)
Camillo Gentile, Peter B. Papazian, Roy Sun, Jelena Senic, Jian Wang
We describe a measurement campaign conducted in a data center, a unique environment in which transceivers are positioned above the server racks. A total of 80 channel acquisitions, including small-scale measurements, were recorded using our 3D double

Catherine A. Remley, Maria G. Becker
(Workshop Abstract) The next generation (5G) network won’t just deliver much faster connection and higher data capacity. It also promises to provide reliable connectivity, low energy consumption, and connecting billions of people and trillions of things

Spatial Channels for Wireless Over-the-Air Measurements in Reverberation Chambers

April 9, 2018
Author(s)
Maria G. Becker, Rob Horansky, Damir Senic, Vincent T. Neylon, Kate Remley
NIST is developing a hybrid test chamber for over-the-air characterization of the next generation of wireless devices in spatial channel environments. By combining features of both reverberation and anechoic chambers, the hybrid chamber will produce

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

Cooperative Vehicular Networking: A Survey

March 8, 2018
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi
With the remarkable progress of cooperative communication technology in recent years, its transformation to vehicular networking is gaining momentum. Such a transformation has brought a new research challenge in facing the realization of cooperative

Unsupervised Clustering for Millimeter-Wave Channel Propagation Modeling

February 11, 2018
Author(s)
Jian Wang, Camillo Gentile, Jelena Senic, Roy Sun, Peter B. Papazian
We have designed and assembled millimeter-wave channel sounders at 28, 60, and 83 GHz. They can measure the three-dimensional (azimuth and elevation) double-directional angle (angle-of- departure and angle-of-arrival) of channel multipath components as

Future Generation Wireless R&D Gaps Report

February 5, 2018
Author(s)
Nada T. Golmie
This report identifies and describes several of the most significant gaps within various components of the wireless industry. This report is intended to serve solely as a knowledge product that recognizes the major challenges facing the broader research

Increasing Public Safety Broadband Network Resiliency Through Traffic Control

February 1, 2018
Author(s)
Richard A. Rouil, Wesley D. Garey, Camillo A. Gentile, Nada T. Golmie
Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based cellular networks are being deployed around the world to provide public safety with enhanced capabilities and access to broadband technology. In the United States, the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) is on the

Identifying spurious modes in RF-MEMS resonators using photoelastic imaging

January 21, 2018
Author(s)
Vikrant J. Gokhale, Jason J. Gorman
This paper reports the first use of dynamic photoelastic imaging for identifying in-plane vibration modes in high-frequency MEMS resonators. In a set of width-extensional mode resonators (WE-BARs), we map fundamental width-extensional modes and unwanted

A NIST Testbed Approach to Verifying mmWave Wireless Communication Signals

January 18, 2018
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley, Dylan F. Williams, Robert D. Horansky
This presentation discusses NIST methods for providing traceable modulated signals at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies in both conducted and free-field environments. It was presented at the 3rd NSF mmWave Research Coordination Network Workshop in

Measured Emission Spectra of Selected AWS-3 LTE Transmitters

Michael R. Frey, Geoffrey Sanders, Jolene Splett, John M. Ladbury, Frank Sanders, Azizollah Kord, Ryan T. Jacobs
Version three of Advanced Wireless Services (AWS-3) radio systems will soon use spectrum that is adjacent to bands currently used by airborne telemetry links at U.S. government test and training ranges (TTRs). It is possible that out-of-band (OoB) and

Qualitative Multidimensional Calibration Comparison

January 15, 2018
Author(s)
Aric W. Sanders, Ronald A. Ginley, Christian J. Long, Jasper A. Drisko, Nathan D. Orloff, Richard A. Chamberlin
We present a technique for the visual comparison of any two vector network analyzer calibrations. This method visualizes the comparative action of the calibrations for multiple complex scattering parameters relative to the calibrated measurement plane
