About
Kim Hassett is a research engineer whose work centers on precision metrology and over-the-air (OTA) testing for advanced wireless systems. At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Hassett has made key contributions to the development of the Multi-Robot Large Antenna Positioning System, a groundbreaking platform that enables highly accurate, repeatable OTA measurements for large antenna arrays. This system, detailed in a 2018 paper, addresses critical challenges in testing next-generation communications technologies, including 5G and beyond, by using coordinated robotic arms to position measurement probes with sub-millimeter precision. While the citation count for this foundational work is modest, its impact is significant within the specialized field of antenna metrology, where Hassett’s engineering innovations have helped establish new testing standards. Her achievements include advancing NIST’s capabilities in characterizing massive MIMO and beamforming antennas, directly supporting the development of more reliable and efficient wireless networks. For students and researchers, Hassett’s work exemplifies how rigorous engineering and metrology can solve real-world problems in telecommunications, making her a notable figure in the intersection of robotics, antenna design, and test methodology.
