STATISTICAL METHODS FOR THE HF PRIMARY POWER STANDARD REALIZATION

L. Brunetti, L. Oberto, M. Sellone
Abstract:
A coaxial microcalorimeter based on thermoelectric detection is the system used to realize the broadband primary power standard at high frequency by Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, Italy. The paper describes and compares two analysis methods that can be applied to the measurement data for evaluating the overall system uncertainty. Methods are completely general and we applied them to our measurement system that can operate with 7 mm, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm coaxial insets, covering, therefore, the frequency range of 10 MHz -40 GHz.
