Abstract :
The development of a compact, portable 10 V Josephson calibration system is described. Its accuracy is the same as typical laboratory systems, but its weight and volume are reduced by more than a factor of three. The new system will replace conventional travelling voltage standards used within several NASA and DOE standards laboratories
