Abstract :
The first part of the paper gives an introduction to the modern methods of rf power measurement, including the problems arising when this quantity is disseminated to calibration laboratories. In the second part, new PTB developments of coaxial and waveguide thin-film bolometer power standards in the rf and microwave range are presented.
