Vector Network Analyzer Calibrations in an ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Laboratory

摘要

The Electromagnetic Standards Laboratory (ESL), US Army Primary Standards Laboratory (APSL), is committed to providing services to its customers which are accurate, traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), delivered on-time, and continually improving. The quality management system of the APSL is registered by NSF-ISR to ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001:2000 and accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 quality standard in many measurement parameters. This paper will focus on the laboratory processes involved with providing accredited calibrations using vector network analyzers in the laboratory.
