Final report on EUROMET.EM.RF-K10.CL (EUROMET comparison 525 (GT-RF/99-2)): Power in the coaxial PC 3.5 mm line system

Abstract

The results and the measurement methods of the EUROMET comparison 525 are summarized in this report. The task of the comparison was to determine the calibration factor for frequencies up to 26 GHz of two identical RF power sensors with PC 3.5 mm connector in the coaxial 3.5 mm line system. Eight European national metrology institutes (NMIs) participated in this comparison, which was organized as a successor to the CCEM key comparison CCEM.RF-K10.CL on the same subject. Two RF power travelling standards with male PC 3.5 mm connectors were measured at: EIM (Greece), AREPA (Denmark), BNM-LCIE (France), NPL (United Kingdom), NMI-VSL (Netherlands), SP (Sweden), UME (Turkey), with PTB (Germany) as the pilot laboratory.Main text.
