• Traced to the same quantity

STD weight: 50 g ± 0.1 gUUT weight: 50 g ± 1 g

• Derived from several different quantities• v = d / t• I = V / R• phase noise = f(x1,x2,…)

2011 NCSL International Workshop and SymposiumSummary

• Derived quantity & traceability: concept• Derived quantity in SI and on traceability chain are not the same• Measurement uncertainty determines the validity of traceability

• Establishing traceability: general approach• Details from measurement method to final MU should be documented.• Pay special attention to the physical principle.

• Phase noise: example• Different measurement methods and ranges may give different

traceability.

PROS

•AM noise suppression

•Low overall noise floor

•Wide offset frequency range

•Wide carrier frequency range

CONS

•Requires an extra reference source (and downconverter) with much lower phase noise (15 dB less than the UUT)

•High drift rate UUT requires high peak-tune-range (PTR) reference source

•Close-in measurements require additional correction
