Abstract
Reviews a century of radio metrology research and development in the US that paralleled the birth and evolution of radio/wireless and other electromagnetic technologies. The interplay between the scientific and technological advances and the research, measurement and standards development programs at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS)) was a factor that facilitated both commercialization of products and implementation of systems for the public benefit.
