Researchers devised a test protocol to evaluate commercial microwave hazard meters and computed error values and composite uncertainties for each instrument.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Five different absorber-lined laboratory test systems were designed and built, and the uncertainty of each test was analyzed. Error values for each parameter were computed for each instrument, and a worst-case composite uncertainty was calculated for each model. Special tests evaluated parasitic interaction of E-field probes with the H-field and impedance loading of meters.

Why This Matters

Particular attention was paid to meter-to-meter variation in calibration and polarization ellipticity. A computer-based system collected and reduced laboratory data and performed statistical analyses. Results were presented to allow individual experimenters to compute uncertainty levels for specific measurement environments.
