Abstract
Establishing traceability for a measurement is very important so that the results of the measurement can be used in a common framework for comparisons and understanding. The standard source of traceability for Short-Open-Load-Thru (SOLT) calibrations has been through empirical models and is tenuous at best. Additionally, the uncertainties do not contain any information about cross-frequency correlations. This work describes a technique for establishing traceability for SOLT calibration kits with fully correlated uncertainties. The calibrations performed using calibration kits evaluated with this new approach are traceable back to dimensional standards. This paper describes the new technique and shows the results of measurements based on this techniqueConference Dates
