Measurement Uncertainty Analysis – Power Reference Level Test

Measurement Introduction

Consider the model below:

P

An estimate of the moduli of Pd and Ps are each less than a specified value. Ps and Pd each lie within a circle of radius P. Assuming Pd and Ps have equal probability of lying anywhere within the circle the standard uncertainty of Mismatch becomes

( ) ±maxPs maxPd u Ms = -------------------------------------------

2

Ps is the reflection coefficient of the source, which is specified as less than 1.05.

VSWR < 1.05

The reference is designed to have a VSWR of less than 1.05.

VSWR < 1.05

 

Hence,

 

Ps(max) = Pd(max) = -------------VSWR---------------1

= -----------1.05----------1 = 0.0244

VSWR + 1

1.05 + 1
