Abstract :
An uncertainty calculation method for the D-band power meter calibration factor is reported. In this method, the propagation of uncertainty from type-B uncertainty components is calculated using the Monte Carlo method. Then, the combined standard uncertainty is calculated as the square root sum of the uncertainty propagation and waveguide flange connection repeatability.
