Abstract :
The scope of the calibration services for electrical quantities in the range of frequency from 0 to 100 GHz that are available from the National Bureau of Standards is discussed briefly in a historical context. Some plans for improved services that will be available in the near future are noted. Charts showing the variation of uncertainty with magnitude over the full range of the respective calibration services are presented.
