Abstract :
A measurement comparison of effective efficiency has been carried out between eight national metrology laboratories at 33 GHz in rectangular waveguide IEC R320. Two waveguide thermistor mounts were measured. The following national laboratories participated: BNM-LCIE (France), NIST (U.S.), NRC (Canada), KRISS (Korea), CSIRO (Australia), PTB (Germany), NMi VSL (The Netherlands), and NPL (U.K.). The Bureau National de Metrologie-Laboratoire Central des Industries Electriques (France) acted as the pilot laboratory for the comparison. Excellent harmony is observed between results given by the participants, especially for the item LCIE-92021
