Traceability for Microwave Power Measurements: Past, Present, and Future

Published

Author(s)

Ronald A. Ginley

Abstract

The need for traceable microwave power measurements for use in communications, defense, spectral line investigation, molecular particle signature identification, material property characterization and others is well established. Traceability for power measurements was established many years ago, the primary method for establishing traceability for power measurements, that is stilled used today, was developed in the 1960’s. This paper will explore the techniques used for establishing past/current traceable power measurements and will also discuss the future directions for power traceability.
