“…Calibration of HF and UHF power sensors at a frequency of 19 GHz is considered in recommendation EA-04/02 [4]. Features of calibration of various HF and UHF power meters in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 18 GHz are considered in many scientific works [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10]. At the same time, there are practically no works devoted to the calibration of HF and UHF power meters in the frequency range of up to 30 MHz.…”

“…HF and UHF power measurement is mostly based on the direct current substitution method with calorimeters, and splitters; direct comparison methods are also applied. Therefore, calorimeters are realized as the basis of primary HF and UHF power standards [6]. Calorimeters are distinguished by the principle of construction: with a dry load, flow [13], and microcalorimeters [6], which are used most often.…”

“…The principle of operation of the microcalorimeter consists of the substitution of direct current, and its metrological traceability is established according to the principle of equivalence of the thermal effect. Using a microcalorimeter, the efficiency coefficient of thermal power converters -bolometric and thermoelectric power sensors is determined [6,14].…”

High-frequency (HF) and ultra-high-frequency (UHF) power measurements are applied in various industries both in the development and design of radio-electronic equipment and in testing, commissioning, or repair. Since such measurements are one of the basic types of measurement for metrological support in the field of radio engineering and communication, it is necessary to ensure metrological traceability of the calibration of working standards and measuring instruments to standards on fundamental constants in wide frequency and dynamic ranges. The National primary standard of Ukraine for units of power of electromagnetic oscillations in coaxial paths reproduces units of power in the frequency range 0.03 … 18 GHz, and the frequency range of the nomenclature of watt-meters and power converters are much wider – from 9 kHz, and for some types of converters even from direct current. The calibration and measurement capabilities of HF and UHF power measurement of national laboratories of different countries were studied for the possibility of solving the issue of expanding the frequency range of calibration of HF and UHF power meters. The analysis of data on the calibration factor and the efficiency factor in coaxial paths with a resistance of 50 Ohm in the Database of Key Comparisons of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures was carried out. A study of possible solutions was carried out and a scheme was developed to reproduce a unit of power by units of voltage and resistance using a precision voltmeter Boonton 9242 RF for the calibration of measuring transducers Rohde&Schwarz NRP-Z55 and NRP6A in the frequency range from 0.1 … 30 MHz. A reproduction model was created based on the developed scheme, and the contributions of the reproduction model components to the calibration result and the corresponding uncertainties of the model components were estimated. The measurement uncertainty budget was drawn up based on the proposed calibration model of radio signal power measuring transducers.

The creation and operation of mobile communication systems is impossible without determining the parameters of base stations and mobile communication systems. For these purposes, appropriate devices are used that optimally combine testing capabilities in a single portable solution, which eliminates the need for several separate control and measuring devices. One of the main types of measurements of such devices is the measurement of the power of ultra-high and extremely high frequency signals. The article presents the method of calibrating meters of directional and absorbed power of ultra-high and extremely high frequency signals using the Bird 5000-EX mobile communication system parameter analyzers complete with the Power Sensor 5010V sensor and measuring sensors, Anritsu CellMaster MT8212EA and Arnitsu SiteMaster S331E spectrum analyzers. Calibration schemes for analyzers of parameters of mobile communication systems and analyzers of mobile communication base stations (hereinafter referred to as analyzers) have been developed. A measurement model of the analyzers based on the parameters of the directional and absorbed power of ultra-high and extremely high frequency signals based on the developed calibration schemes was created. The contribution of each component of the measurement model to the calibration result and the corresponding uncertainties of the model components were determined. The measurement uncertainty budget was made based on the proposed analyzer calibration model. The influence of the most significant influential values on the accuracy of measurement results was analyzed. The content of quantitative and qualitative indicators of corrections, which must be taken into account during calibration to achieve the highest accuracy of measurements, is revealed. The practical results of studies of measurement instability are given. The analyzer calibration method described in the article can be used in calibration laboratories that have the appropriate equipment and standards.
