Abstract:
|
An Interlaboratory Comparison of Vector Network Analyzer Measurements Speaker: Dr. Li Pi Su US Army Primary Standards Laboratory AMSAM-TMD-S Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Phone (256) 955-6137/Fax (256) 842-8551 E-mail: lipi.su@redstone.army.mil Authors: Dr. Li Pi Su, George Walden and Van Black U.S. Army Primary Standards Laboratory ABSTRACT This paper will report on an interlaboratory comparison (ILC) of measurements performed on Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs). The ILC was conducted with the three primary standards laboratories of the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This provided an appraisal of the capabilities and degree of equivalence of the participant laboratories to perform coaxial Type N 1-port VNA measurements accurately and consistently. This also demonstrated proficiency of VNA operators in the context that they can produce measurement results consistent with other comparable laboratories.
