Prototype measurements belong to the key steps in the development of antenna structures. Although accurate validation of their far-field performance can be realized in dedicated facilities, such as anechoic chambers, the high cost of their construction and maintenance might not be justified if the main goal of measurements is to support teaching or low-budget research. Instead, they can be performed in non-anechoic conditions and then refined using appropriate correction algorithms. Unfortunately, the existing post-processing methods suffer from multiple challenges that include manual setup of parameters as well as validation of performance in idealized conditions. In this communication, a multi-taper-based framework for correction of antenna characteristics obtained in non-anechoic environments has been proposed. The algorithm augments one-shot measurements of the structure under test in order to extract the line-of-sight responses while attenuating the interferences pertinent to multi-path propagation and noise from external sources of radiation. The performance of the proposed correction routine has been demonstrated in two test sites using a geometrically small Vivaldi radiator and validated against state-of-the-art techniques from the literature. The uncertainty budget for the measurements performed using the approach amounts to 0.26 dB, which is low given challenging propagation conditions considered for experiments.

In principle, laser-pumped Cs-4He magnetometers can take advantage of the high sensitivity of optically pumped magnetometers and the high accuracy of proton magnetometers. However, insufficient experimental studies have been conducted on the optimization conditions and physics of this type of magnetometer. In this study, we investigate the experimental performance of a laser-pumped Cs-4He magnetometer by optimizing the sensitivity of the excitation pulse settings. We report some dependence relationships that have not been previously reported. The optimal settings under the obtainable experimental conditions in our lab are 34 ℃ for temperature, 10 μs for pulse duration, and 67 V and 2.2 V for high- and low-level voltages, respectively, which provide a sensitivity of 26 pT/√Hz within a frequency of 0.08-0.2 Hz. This study provides a solid reference for further improving the Cs-4He magnetometer, offers the possibility of measuring physical constants more accurately, and provides a deeper understanding of plasma interaction processes.

Main textThis pilot study evaluates the coherence of carbon isotope delta reference materials (RMs) used by laboratories worldwide. The goal was to assess how well laboratories can realize the VPDB scale using these RMs. In total, carbon isotope delta values of 36 RMs were measured by seven laboratories as well as the vanillin sample previously evaluated in CCQM-K167/P211. A hierarchical Bayesian measurement model was used to evaluate the coherence between these RMs, and to determine the carbon isotope delta value of each of these RMs. In general, this study shows that the 36 carbon isotope delta RMs are reliable. Further, the value assigned to the vanillin sample in this study is within 0.02 ‰ from the CCQM-K167 KCRV.To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report.

Main textThe pilot studies CCQM-P225a and b aimed at validating the performance of the pVT−CO2 manometric reference facility maintained at the BIPM as a reference for the planned ongoing comparisons BIPM.QM-K2a and b for CO2 in air and nitrogen standards, respectively, over the range 350 μmol mol−1 to 800 μmol mol−1. The planned launch date of the BIPM.QM-K2a and b comparisons is 2024 and will enable NMIs and DIs to have access to on-demand comparisons for their CO2 in air and nitrogen standards over the range 350 μmol mol−1 to 800 μmol mol−1.The pilot studies supplemented the validation activities on the BIPM reference facility already reported in CCQM-P188, and ongoing validation studies against NIST, NOAA and VSL gas standards. A description of the BIPM facility performance will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal in 2023, with a full uncertainty analysis showing that it can operate with a standard uncertainty of 0.1 μmol mol−1 over the amount fraction range of the comparison (Viallon et al 2023b).The comparison was organised using a sufficient number of independent standards, to demonstrate the performance of the BIPM system, whilst limiting the duration of the pilot study, allowing the key comparison to start as planned in 2024. Following discussions at the 44th GAWG meeting it was decided that comparisons with 3 independent standards at 3 nominal amount fraction values (380, 480 and 800 μmol mol−1) in the two matrices (air and nitrogen) would be sufficient.Results presented in this report show a good agreement between values assigned by participants and those measured at the BIPM, over the entire range of the comparison and for both matrices (air and nitrogen). The BIPM pVT−CO2 facility is ready to act as reference facility for the ongoing key comparison BIPM.QM−K2.To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report.

Main textThe results of the COOMET supplementary comparison of the national measurement standards of air kerma for x-radiation qualities used for radiation protection and diagnostic radiology are presented. Nine National Metrology Institutes from the COOMET organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency participated in this COOMET project no.641. The BelGIM acted as a pilot laboratory. The comparison reference value (CRV) was obtained as the mean result of the PTB and the VNIIM. Almost all participants obtained valid results which were consistent within the relative standard uncertainties of the comparison ranging from 0.28% to 2.6%. Some participants had unacceptable results.To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report. Note that this text is that which appears in Appendix B of the BIPM key comparison database https://www.bipm.org/kcdb/.The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCRI, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
