Abstract
We report results of a recent international comparison of thermal noise-power measurements, performed under the auspices of CIPM/CCE. The noise temperatures of two solid-state sources with GPC-7 connectors were measured at 2, 4, and 12 GHz. All results agreed within the expanded uncertainties. The comparison was performed in accordance with the guidelines recently adopted by the CCE.Proceedings Title
