Dual-directional couplers are used to monitor net power fed into transmitting antennas in standard-field systems at NIM, China. It is essential to calibrate the coupler and evaluate the measurement uncertainty in the net power in such applications. The method we use at NIM to calibrate couplers are presented in this paper, and a complete model that takes into account the measurement uncertainties of couplers and horns to evaluate uncertainties in net power delivery is proposed. A case study is also provided of power delivery by a coupler with the nominal directivity of 40 dB using the Monte Carlo analysis based on the complete model and actual measured data.

AbstractA Logistic-Normal random variable (Y) is obtained from a Normal random variable (X) by the relation Y = (ex)/(1 + ex). In Monte-Carlo analysis of decision trees, Logistic-Normal random variates may be used to model the branching probabilities. In some cases, the probabilities to be modeled may not be independent, and a method for generating correlated Logistic-Normal random variates would be useful. A technique for generating correlated Normal random variates has been previously described. Using Taylor Series approximations and the algebraic definitions of variance and covariance, we describe methods for estimating the means, variances, and covariances of Normal random variates which, after translation using the above formula, will result in Logistic-Normal random variates having approximately the desired means, variances, and covariances. Multiple simulations of the method using the Mathematica computer algebra system show satisfactory agreement with the theoretical results.
