INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON OF KU-BAND STANDARD GAIN HORN CHARACTERIZATION

April 11, 2014
Author(s)
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

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

January 11, 2014
Author(s)
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
Author(s)
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)

On the Link Between Insertion Loss and Lower Bound of Efficiency

August 9, 2013
Author(s)
Levon Barsikyan, Jason Coder, Mark Golkowski, John M. Ladbury
We investigate the effect of chamber loss on the recently developed 2-port antenna model and the associated method of determining antenna efficiency. The loss in the reverberation chamber was controlled using microwave absorbing foam creating four

ROBOTICALLY CONTROLLED MM-WAVE NEAR-FIELD PATTERN RANGE

October 21, 2012
Author(s)
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

Polymer Membranes to Quarter-Wave Match Gaussian Optics

February 18, 2013
Author(s)
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

An Improved Antenna Gain Extrapolation Measurement

November 1, 2012
Author(s)
Jason B. Coder, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Michael H. Francis, Brian C. Stillwell
An improved antenna gain extrapolation measurement is proposed. The improved method consists of a vector network analyzer, a pair of RF optical links, and a pair of waveguide mixers. We present a detailed description of the new extrapolation measurement

On Lower Bound Antenna Efficiency Measurements in a Reverberation Chamber

August 6, 2012
Author(s)
Jason B. Coder, John M. Ladbury
This paper addresses a few specific aspects of measuring the lower bound of antenna efficiency in a reverberation chamber. While the initial method for measuring the lower bound of efficiency has been presented, three key revisions are discussed here: (1)

A Novel Method for Determining the Lower Bound of Antenna Efficiency

December 31, 2011
Author(s)
Jason B. Coder, John M. Ladbury, Mark Golkowski
Determining the absolute antenna efficiency has been a difficult task since the inception of the antenna itself. While there are methods that can measure an antenna’s efficiency, most are complicated and prone to high uncertainties. A new method is

Measurement of Shielding Effectiveness of Electrically-Small Enclosures

August 13, 2011
Author(s)
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
