Automated Millimeter-Wave Systems to Support a WR-22 Band Testing Program

Contractural requirements at this facility made it necessary to develop and evaluate millimeter-wave measurement systems for several parameters in WR-22 Band on an expedited basis. The problem was made severe by the lack of capability at the National Bureau of Standards for any parameter in this band. Working with other facilities having similar problems, a Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) was established that would provide reasonable confidence in the new systems.
