A field study was performed at two police agencies to evaluate the utility and accuracy of five on-site urine analysis drug-testing devices when used to test driving under the influence (DUI) arrestees. The devices evaluated were AccuSign, Rapid Drug Screen, TesTcup-5, TesTstik, and Triage. Standard workplace screening cut-off concentrations were used and samples were tested for marijuana, coca...

The dispersion of the measurement of electromagnetic disturbance above 1 GHz is mainly affected by site imperfections (expressed by SVSWR). To evaluate the uncertainty in electromagnetic disturbance measurements at 1 18 GHz, we measured SVSWR and the field strength at 9 measurement site. From our result, the measured field strength at each measurement site was observed in the range of 2σ that d...
