چکیده
This paper describes a constant impedance transmission line pulse system with new measurement capabilities and improved accuracy. The paper enforces a broader look at transmission line pulse (TLP) data, beyond the – curves. Accurate TLP measurements and actual TLP/HBM device data are used to demonstrate effects and HBM/TLP correlation and miscorrelation. Finally, a calibration method and standard TLP test method are presented for adaptation by the industry. This is necessary to provide correlation and repeatability of experimental data.

متن کاملImprovements in the Nist Calibration Service for Thermal Transfer Standards
We report on multiple improvements made in the calibration services offered for thermal converters and thermal transfer standards in the ac-dc Difference Standards and Measurement Techniques Project at NIST during the past year. The major improvement in this calibration is the increased efficiency made possible by the consolidation of three disparate calibration services – low voltage thermal t...
متن کاملCalibration of Correlation Radiometers Using Pseudo-Random Noise Signals
The calibration of correlation radiometers, and particularly aperture synthesis interferometric radiometers, is a critical issue to ensure their performance. Current calibration techniques are based on the measurement of the cross-correlation of receivers' outputs when injecting noise from a common noise source requiring a very stable distribution network. For large interferometric radiometers ...

Sn-5.3Ag-4.2Bi foil prepared with dimension of 32×25 mm. Two alloys was joint together by proce...
متن کاملApplication of a New Method for the Automated Calibration of Very Low Gauge and Absolute Pressures in a Commercial Calibration Laboratory
Maintaining traceability for transfer standards in the range of 10 Pa to 5 kPa is critical to many calibration laboratories. However, standards with suitable uncertainty that can also be practically implemented in the typical laboratory have not been available. A new pressure standard based on piston-cylinder technology has been developed that provides the measurement uncertainty needed to supp...
