The thermistor mount is used for precise RF power measurement because the calibration factor is constant according to the change of power. The calibration factor of the standard mount can be measured with an uncertainty less than 0.5 % from the 10 MHz to 1 GHz by direct comparison with the transfer standard using the DC substitution method. Recently, as the supply of precision power meter based on DC substitution method allows simple and fast measurement, a simple direct comparison measurement system with the same level uncertainty was designed and the minimum required specifications of components through analysis of mismatch error was proposed. The uncertainty was evaluated for system validation, and the results show that uncertainties have been well maintained within 0.5 % in the measurement frequencies.

In this paper, a standard field generation method using a micro-TEM ceil is described and its measurement uncertainty is evaluated. The standard field generation system consists of an auto-leveling signal source, a micro-TEM cell operating up to 1.2 GHz, and a power measuring Instrument using a thermistor mount. Measurement results of a field strength key comparison (CCEM.RF-K20) for the field strength of 20 V/m at frequencies between 10 MHz and 1 GHz are presented for validating the standard field generation method.
