The CPEM is devoted to topics related to electromagnetic measurements at the highest accuracy levels. These cover the frequency spectrum from dc through the optical region. A major focus of this conference is quantum devices that relate electrical standards to fundamental constants and the international system of units. CPEM attracts a highly specialized international participation. The principal types of organizations that participate at CPEM are the national standards laboratories; industrial organizations, industrial and government standards laboratories and universities. Attendance at CPEM is considered a must for the researchers and metrologists who are responsible for electrical standards.
The following EMRP projects will be presented at the meeting:
- Metrology for Smart Electrical Grids (ENG04 SmartGrid) will improve the accuracy of onsite smart grid measurements, vital for maintaining the quality of electricity supply and developing smart grids capable of dealing with decentralised electricity production.
- Electromagnetic characterisation of materials for industrial applications up to microwave frequencies (IND02 EMINDA) will support innovation in the European electronics industry by enabling reliable measurements at nano, micro and macro scales and less resource-intensive production processes.
- Metrology for ultrafast electronics and high-speed communications (IND16 Ultrafast) will provide solutions to the high frequency signal measurement challenges.
- Microwave and terahertz metrology for homeland security (NEW07 THz Security) will develop measurement traceability for sources and detectors for sub-mm and THz frequencies.
- Realisation of the awaited definition of the kilogram - resolving the discrepancies (SIB03 kNOW) will improve the determination of the Avogadro constant based among other measurements on volume determination of silicon single crystal spherical standards by precision interferometry.
- Quantum resistance metrology based on graphene (SIB51 GraphOhm) will build stable graphene devices that can operate in relaxed conditions for use as quantum resistance standards for the electricity community.
- Automated impedance metrology extending the quantum toolbox for electricity (SIB53 AIM QuTE) will improve impedance metrology at the lowest uncertainties by making the transition from measurements performed at predefined values and relative phase angles.
- New primary standards and traceability for radiometry (SIB57 NEWSTAR) will improve efficient light-detecting instruments, known as photometers, resulting in the highest level realisations of the radiometric units.
- A quantum standard for sampled electrical measurements (SIB59 Q-WAVE) will develop a measurement system for the dynamic calibration of the latest generation of convertors for the electronic sensing sector.
- Metrology for new electrical measurement quantities in high-frequency circuits (SIB62 HFCircuits) will develop traceable verification techniques to benefit industrial electronics that operate in the radio frequency, microwave and millimetrewave areas.
