Abstract :
A calibration method using the open-ended waveguides was proposed. The measured and simulated gains of the waveguides were compared, and the standard uncertainties of the gain for all waveguides were calculated. The expanded uncertainty of the calibration system was calculated from the standard uncertainties given by all uncertainty factors. As a result, the expanded uncertainties of the system for most types of waveguide were about 1 dB.
