Development of RF and microwave metrology capability
Annotation in Czech
The overall objective of this project is to improve the European measurement and research capability for RF&MW metrology and to establish a basis for future cooperation between European NMIs. This will enable less developed European NMIs to build necessary research capacity, as well as improving their calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) and reducing the increasing technological gap between NMIs. The specific objectives of the project are to: 1. Improve S-parameter measurements with lower uncertainty and to develop/enhance impedance and S-parameters traceability across Europe by improving the measurement and research capacities of NMI partners and bringing them to level to be able to adequately support the needs of their stakeholders. The primary traceability and uncertainty budget for the S-parameter measurements will be established through calculable calibration standards with the use of specialised software tools. 2. Improve the reliability and precision of RF power measurements under low and high-power conditions, power sensor measurements for low-power as well as to investigate the effects of higher harmonics in the response of power sensors to cover the stakeholder needs. Also to provide the NMI partners the ability to measure and determine output reflection coefficients of signal generators via knowledge transfer. 3. Investigate advanced calibration methods and established test procedures for EMC with use of RF&MW metrology. EMC calibration methods will be improved for traceability of loop antennas and pulse generators and existing verification methods will also be improved for EMC immunity/emissions by using advanced RF&MW metrology methods and VNAs. Therefore, an efficient knowledge link will be established between EMC and RF&MW experts across Europe.
