Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

We show the possibility of application of the bolometric converters of microwave power, included in the State Primary Standard of the unit of power of electromagnetic waves in waveguide and coaxial paths, GET 167-2017, in an extended frequency range up to 220 GHz. The investigation of semiconductor bolometric converters confirm their good matching and smooth frequency characteristics of the efficiency factor. On the basis of these results, the State Working Standard (WS) 3.1.ZZT.0288.2018 of the unit of power of electromagnetic waves was certified within the power range 0.1–10 mW at frequencies of 37.5–220 GHz. We also present the technical specifications of the WS of the unit of power of electromagnetic oscillations, obtained in the course of its certification on the GET 167-2017 installation in the extended frequency interval.
