Abstract :
With the power measurement standards above 110 GHz undefined, it is left to individuals to devise the methodology of determining the RF power above 110 GHz. This paper details a simple and repeatable method in measuring RF power up to 1 THz using a calorimeter. Calorimeter power measurement is based on the black body absorption principle - a change in temperature between a known power absorbed to an unknown power absorbed. Performance of various millimeter wave bands RF power data are presented and compared.
