National Interlaboratory comparison RF power in N-type coaxial connector systems up to 18 GHz October 2013 - April 2014 : Comparison Report DKD-V 02.02

A national interlaboratory comparison for the quantity “RF power in N-type coaxial connector systems up to 18 GHz” was carried out between October 2013 and April 2014. The aim of this national intercomparison was to give the accredited DAkkS calibration laboratories the opportunity to participate in interlaboratory comparisons, i.e. comparisons between different laboratories (according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Point 5.9.1). In this comparison, the calibration factor and the reflection coefficient of a power sensor were to be determined at seven different frequencies between 50 MHz and 18 GHz. In addition, the pin depth of the N-connector was to be measured. In general, the participants’ results showed a good agreement with the reference values
