The uncertainties of the determination of the total radiated power and the radiation pattern are compared. Examination is carried out by computer simulations for several models of mobile phones beside a head phantom. The results provide guidelines for choosing a reasonable number of measurement locations for amplitude-only and complex field characterization. The results also show that complex field measurements provide lower uncertainty of the determination of the radiation pattern of a mobile terminal antenna beside a head phantom compared to amplitude-only measurement, when the number of measurement locations is relatively small.","PeriodicalId":135321,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat.

The technique governing how the acoustic inspection device (AID) functions, involves measurements of ultrasonic pulses (0.1 to 5 MHz) that are launched into a container or material. The return echoes from these pulses are analyzed in terms of time-of-flight and frequency content to extract physical property measurements (the acoustic velocity and attenuation coefficient) of the material under test. The AID performs an automated analysis of the return echoes to identify the material, and detect contraband in the form of submerged packages and concealed compartments in liquid filled containers and solid-form commodities. This device utilizes a database consisting of material property measurements acquired from an automated, ultrasonic fluid characterization system called the Velocity-Attenuation Measurement System (VAMS). Both prototype technologies are discussed here. This manuscript describes the functionality, capabilities and measurement methodology of the technology as it relates to the material property measurements and homeland security applications.","PeriodicalId":135321,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat.
