“…Operator errors were minimized by using an automated measurement software developed in the C # platform for both coaxial and WG power sensors’ calibrations (mmWave Auto RF Power Measurement Software, R1.0, TUBITAK UME) [ 24 ]. The 5 GHz frequency step was chosen for the measurements because of the wide frequency range in this study.…”

Most calibration laboratories prefer the Direct Comparison Transfer Method (DCTM) for a reliable and accurate calibration of power sensors in the radio frequency (RF) scope. Most studies suggest using this calibration method, with its automatic power level control (APLC) of RF signal generators. The APLC is preferred to keep the output power level of the signal generator the same, while the power sensor is calibrated and the reference power sensor is connected to the measurement system. The known APLC mechanisms are also explained for the DCTM, and a comparison of the calibration factor values carried out with and without the automatic power level control process in the DCTM is also given in this study. RF power sensor calibrations with coaxial and waveguide connector types are examined with DCTM in this study as well. This study shows that the DCTM, unless with APLC, should be applied for the waveguide power sensor’s calibration at millimeter wave frequencies.
