Step inside this REALM that’s full of measurement possibilities. This room is called the Robotically Enhanced Antenna Laboratory for Metrology, aka REALM. Here, NIST researchers use NIST-pioneered robotic antenna measurement systems called the Large Antenna Positioning Systems (LAPS) and the Configurable Robotic MilliMeter-wave Antenna (CROMMA) that essentially are really accurate radio-frequency holographic cameras for doing antenna measurements. The lab is based at our campus in Boulder, Color
