Abstract

A new atom-based electric (E) field measurement approach (using Rydberg atoms) is being investigated by several groups around the world as a means to develop a new SI-traceable RF E- field standard. For this technique to be useful it is important to understand the uncertainties. In this paper, we examine and quantify the sources of uncertainty present with this Rydberg atom- based RF (E-field) measurement technique.
