Abstract
Various developments in microwave and optical metrology that have been stimulated by the needs of satellite and optical fiber telecommunications are discussed. A few recent examples of the symbiosis of science, technology, and metrology in the microwave and optical fields are noted. Meeting the challenge of providing calibration support to the new automated measurement systems is seen to require a high degree of cooperation among government, industry, and the universities.
