Abstract
Since 2010 we have been developing a quantum-voltage-calibrated Johnson noise thermometer at NIM to measure the Boltzmann constant k. With recent improvements in grounding and shielding of the electronics, and matching of the noise sources and transmission lines, the effects of electromagnetic interference and spectral aberrations were greatly reduced. Measurements for about 140 hours integrating period resulted in measured value of k = 1.380648x10^-23 J/K and a relative uncertainty of 7.8x10^-6, which is at a relative offset of -0.6x10^-6 from the CODATA 2010 value of k.Proceedings Title
