NCSL SPONSORED RF POWER SENSOR MEASUREMENT COMPARISON PROGRAM

摘要

Making accurate and traceable measurements in an environment where uncertainties are only partially under control challenges the metrologist. Low Test Uncertainty Ratios (TUR) in the measurement of RF and microwave power sensors make Measurement Comparison Programs (MCPs) in this discipline useful and effective. Intercomparison of measurement results using a stable artifact in a MCP permits assessment of the accuracy and stability of lab measurements without expensive outside calibrations. Results of recent laboratory intercomparisons are presented for study and analysis.
