Abstract
RF and microwave power is a basic quantity in electromagnetic metrology which linked directly to major electro-magnetic quantities such as attenuation, RF voltage, antenna characteristics and field strength. This paper deals with a power meter and power sensor with associated theory for RF and microwave power measurement. We study the theory and the key aspects in design of a 3.5 mm coaxial microcalorimeter which works from 50 MHz to 26.5 GHz as a primary microwave power standard.
