Pilot Study ILC: METAS and NIST - Coaxial Noise Source up to 50 GHz
Project Description
The subject of this project is an interlaboratory measurement comparison of a 2.4 mm coaxial noise source up to 50 GHz.
To our knowledge, no comparisons have been conducted so far for this quantity in coaxial line up to 50 GHz. METAS wants to extend its CMCs for coaxial noise sources from the current 33 GHz to 50 GHz.
In order for the CMCs to be accepted, METAS needs a measurement comparison. NIST is, to our knowledge, the only other NMI with measurement capabilities for 2.4 mm noise sources up to 50 GHz.
The travelling standard is a Keysight 346CK01 Noise Source.
Pilot duties are done by METAS.
