  • Abstract
    The methods and results of an international comparison are presented for measurements of RF power in a 3.5 mm coaxial line at seven frequencies up to 26 GHz. Three national laboratories of metrology having different measurement techniques participated in the comparison. The agreement between the mean values of the calibration factor of the traveling standard reported by the participants is well within their reported uncertainties (k=2), which are between 0.5% and 3.1%
