“…So, instead of performing the accurate measurements to have imprecise knowledge of this system used, adding a further term to uncertainty budget as mismatch uncertainty is recommended. Formulas for estimating mismatch uncertainty are derived in terms of reflection coefficients, VSWRs and S-parameters and evaluated earlier in [19][20][21][22][23]. These formulas were developed in accordance to the measurement parameter, its measuring system and the system for measuring the components of formulas.…”

“…Total uncertainty contribution for attenuation MA T due to mismatch error for two-port component i.e. for fixed attenuator can be derived from equation (19), when only magnitude is known (linear), applicable in case of low attenuation values (<10 dB) [17,19,21].…”

Abstract.A number of calibration techniques are used in Radio Frequency (RF) calibration for power, attenuation and impedance parameters. Mismatch uncertainty plays a major role in these measurements and in estimation of combined uncertainty according to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and GUM document. Formulas to evaluate the mismatch uncertainty in terms of reflection coefficient, voltage standing wave ratio and scattering parameters have been evaluated earlier and are being used in RF calibration. The present paper summarizes the mismatch formulas previously studied and the modified ones suitable to the measurement system and techniques available today. For power and attenuation calibration in the particular frequency range, an establishment of traceability for one-port measurement in the same frequency range is required. The methods to reduce and control this uncertainty component and their limitations are also discussed for best measurements practices in the calibration laboratories.

When a signal is sent along any transmission path, many different mechanisms degrade it. Because of finite conductivity, every cable shows a resistive loss. Scattering loss is dominated by Rayleigh scattering, and below 1600nm absorption losses are caused mainly by OH absorption. Wireless transmission paths, such as microwave links, satellite links, and broadcast or mobile communication, are affected by scattering caused by rain, clouds, and multiple reflections. Many different methods and a variety of systems for measuring attenuation have been developed.
