Abstract

Abstract:The 10th North American Josephson voltage standard (JVS) interlaboratory comparison (ILC) at 10 V was completed in 2014. This ILC was unique because it consisted of two parts. An on-site comparison was conducted between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) transportable JVS and the pivot laboratory's conventional JVS (CJVS) system. A set of four traveling Zener voltage standards then served to transfer traceability from the pivot laboratory to the 12 other participants. In addition to the regular ILC activities, a second on-site comparison was conducted between the NIST transportable JVS and the programmable JVS (PJVS) provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Due to limited availability of the PJVS, only two laboratories were selected to make direct comparisons between their CJVS systems and NASA's PJVS. The method has been used for the first time in the JVS ILC and has the advantage of using the PJVS as a transfer standard. This allowed the parti...
