چکیده

We develop a covariance-matrix-based uncertainty analysis for vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements. The covariance matrix captures all of the measurement uncertainties and statistical correlations between them. This allows the uncertainties of vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements to be propagated into the uncertainties of other quantities derived from scattering parameters, including temporal waveforms.

Analyzing Bullwhip Effect in Supply Networks under Exogenous Uncertainty

This paper explains a model for analyzing and measuring the propagation of order amplifications (i.e. bullwhip effect) for a single-product supply network topology considering exogenous uncertainty and linear and time-invariant inventory management policies for network entities. The stream of orders placed by each entity of the network is characterized assuming customer demand is ergodic. In fa...

An Optimal Vector-Network-Analyzer Calibration Algorithm

We present an iterative algorithm for calibrating vector network analyzers based on orthogonal distance regression. The algorithm features a robust, yet efficient, search algorithm, an error analysis that includes both random and systematic errors, a full covariance matrix relating calibration and measurement errors, 95% coverage factors, and an easy-to-use user interface that supports a wide v...

Vector-Network-Analyzer Calibrations

We develop an uncertainty analysis that captures the dominant sources of measurement error in state-of-the-art WM-380 (WR 1.5) rectangular-waveguide vector-network-analyzer measurements over the frequency range 500–750 GHz. We use the analysis to assess thru-reflect-line, thru-short-match, and thru-short-radiating-open calibrations. The comparison shows that thru-short-match and thru-short-radi...

Simultaneous Monitoring of Multivariate-Attribute Process Mean and Variability Using Artificial Neural Networks

In some statistical process control applications, the quality of the product is characterized by thecombination of both correlated variable and attributes quality characteristics. In this paper, we propose anovel control scheme based on the combination of two multi-layer perceptron neural networks forsimultaneous monitoring of mean vector as well as the covariance matrix in multivariate-attribu...
