The final report of EURAMET Comparison 1514 on material parameter measurements in the frequency range 50 GHz up several THz with optical, resonant and #VNA based setups finished. In total 8 institutes, 9 material samples. Download at bit.ly/3oPrgmy #EMPIR #metrology

Another progress meeting of WP4 (passive intermodulation #PIM) was held on September 21, 2022. #Metrology interlaboratory comparison is planned for high RF power level and PIM level with support of #Rosenberger, Nokia and #FH_Aachen. EURAMET

Several conference papers have been accepted for the #CPEM2022 conference hosted by NMI Australia. Looking forward to papers on traceable 4.3/10 and 7/16 connectors, on-wafer testing at chip level and RF probing. See you in December in @Wellington_NZ ;) cpem2022.nz
