Abstract
We will describe how the complex frequency response of a high-speed photodiode is calibrated by use of electro-optic sampling. Our uncertainty analysis includes a unique covariance-matrix based method that allows us to transform uncertainties between the time and frequency domains. Once calibrated, the photodiode can be used as a known source, providing traceability to both time- and frequency-domain based equipment, including oscilloscopes, vector signal generators, vector signal analyzers, and large signal network analyzers.
