The following text is an example of the content of a user defined power meter uncertainty file.
This simple ascii file contains the power meter uncertainty contributions summarized in the following table. Any user defined file with this format can be loaded by setting the model as “Custom File”.
Standard Uncertainties |
|
Standard Uncertainty |
Source |
u_Pm |
Power meter instrumentation uncertainty. |
u_Pmc |
Power meter instrumentation uncertainty (during calibration). |
u_D |
Power meter drift uncertainty. |
u_Pcal |
Calibrator output power level uncertainty. |
u_Zs |
Power meter zero set uncertainty. |
u_N |
Power meter and sensor noise uncertainty. |
u_Zc |
Power meter zero carryover uncertainty. |
u_Mu |
Mismatch gain uncertainty between the sensor and the generator. The standard uncertainty is dependent upon the reflection coefficients of the sensor and the generator. |
u_Muc |
Mismatch gain uncertainty between the sensor and the calibrator output of the power meter. The standard uncertainty is dependent upon the reflection coefficients of the sensor and the calibrator output. |
u_Kc |
Sensor calibration factor uncertainty at the frequency of the power meter calibrator output. |
