Abstract
A measurement comparison of the boresight gain of two IEC-R320 horn antennas has been carried out between five national metrology laboratories at 26.5, 33 and 40 GHz. The following five national metrology laboratories participated: NPL (United Kingdom), NMI-VSL (The Netherlands) NIST (United States of America), BNM-LCIE (France) and KRISS (Republic of Korea). The National Physical Laboratory (United Kingdom) acted as the pilot laboratory for the comparison.
