The need for traceable microwave power measurements for use in communications, defense, spectral line investigation, molecular particle signature identification, material property characterization, and many other applications is well known. Traceability for power measurements was established many years ago. The primary method for establishing traceability for power measurements, which is still used today, was developed in the 1960's. This paper will explore the techniques used for establishing past/current traceable power measurements and will also discuss the future directions for power traceability.
