About

Josh Gordon is a research engineer whose work centers on antenna metrology and radio-frequency measurement science at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). His primary contributions lie in the development and operation of advanced antenna measurement facilities, most notably the Configurable Robotic Millimeter-Wave Antenna (CROMMA) facility, which he helped bring to life. This reconfigurable system, detailed in his most-cited paper (7 citations), enables precise, automated measurements of millimeter-wave antennas—a critical capability for emerging 5G and satellite communications technologies. Gordon also played a key role in the reinstatement of NIST’s Antenna Gain and Polarization Calibration Service (2023), restoring a vital national calibration capability after a five-year facility renovation. This service, recognized by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), ensures traceable, high-accuracy antenna measurements for industry and government. Through his work, Gordon has directly supported the reliability of wireless systems and advanced metrology infrastructure, making him a key figure in applied electromagnetic research at NIST.
