    "description": "After a five-year renovation of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder, CO, antenna measurement facility, the Antenna On-Axis Gain and Polarization Measurements Service SKU63100S was reinstated with the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). In addition to an overhaul of the antenna facility, the process of reinstatement involved a comprehensive measurement campaign of multiple international check-standard antennas over multiple frequency bands spanning 8 GHz to 110 GHz. Through the measurement campaign, equivalency with 16 National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and continuity to several decades of antenna gain values was demonstrated. The renovation process, which included implementing new robotic antenna measurement systems, control software, and data processing tools is discussed. Equivalency results and uncertainties are presented and compared to check standard historical values. Data sets included here are for figures 6, 7 and 8 for extrapolation data curves at the center frequencies, 10 GHz, 15 GHz, and 95 GHz.  Data sets for Table 2 show antenna Gain equivalency values and uncertainties for each antenna with serial number for each antenna. Data set for Table 3 shows polarization equivalency values  and uncertainties for each antenna with serial number for each antenna. Table 4 shows uncertainty analysis for gain and polarization equivalency results.",
