Abstract :
The NBS standards for millimeter wave power measurements are calorimeters which are used to determine the effective efficiency of transfer standards (bolometer units). A careful error analysis has been made and the effective efficiency of bolometer units may be determined with uncertainty limits of ± 0. 28 percent.
