Characteristics, calibration and measurement uncertainty of RF field strength meters in the frequency range up to 18 GHz

[摘要] Due to their construction, the devices used for the measurement ofelectromagnetic fields (radiation monitors) must be calibrated individually.The measurement data obtained are documented in a calibration certificateand the user must take them into account in the uncertainty budget he has todraw up. In addition to the uncertainty contributions of the fieldrepresentation and of the transfer, other contributions occur which dependon the special constructive features of these devices. When the uncertaintybudget is drawn up, it depends on the application and the information aboutthe field structure which contributions will have an effect and which willnot. The procedure will be explained by an example.
