Description
Summary:Several technology surveys concerning millimeter-wave (MMW) measurement needs and capabilities have been conducted by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), Boulder Laboratories, and others. The results of some of these studies are summarized. Current MMW standards and calibration capabilities at NBS are reviewed. The lack of national standards in certain frequency bands may lead to problems with the specification, acceptance testing, and calibration of some components and systems.
