Water Vapor Absorption of Electromagnetic Radiation in the Centimeter Wave-Length Range

Probability Distribution of the Quality Factor of a Mode-Stirred Reverberation Chamber

“…In practice, experimentally determined values of Q are nearly always reported to be considerably smaller than Q eff ≡ Q ∞ , typically by a factor 0.2 or 0.5 to 1 [7], [9], [28]. On account of (32), choosing mod(Q) or a fortiori Q (a<−2) as an a priori theoretical estimate may offer better ad hoc quantitative agreement than Q and med(Q).…”

A review of sources of systematic errors and uncertainties in observations and simulations at 183 GHz

“…Self-broadened (pure water vapor or quadratic with humidity) and foreign-broadened (mixture with air or linear with humidity) continuum coefficients C (in (dB km −1 )/(GHz kPa) 2 ), as in Rosenkranz (1998Rosenkranz ( , 1999. Symbols are field and laboratory data (filled blue diamonds are from Kuhn et al, 2002; open blue diamonds are from Godon et al, 1992and Bauer et al, 1993 green open circles are from Katkov et al, 1995; red squares are from Liebe, 1984 andLayton, 1987; black dots are from Koshelev et al, 2011; pink triangles are from Becker and Autler, 1946). Statistical uncertainty of individual points in each series is approximately equal to or less than the size of the points.…”

Relative Intensity Measurements in Microwave Spectroscopy

“…1 A sample of C-13 enriched methyl formate was prepared and the ratio of the C-12 to the C-13 species in the mixture was determined from a measurement of the relative intensities of lines due to the same transition in each of the two IV species. The lines studied are given in Table 1.…”
