Above: Improved microcalorimeter design to reduce uncertainty and improve connection repeatability of microwave power measurements.

We assisted NIST in improving their understanding of how to make precise microwave power measurements using microcalorimeters. By creating a thermal simulation, we quantified the error and correction factor of their current system. Then, we used our simulation analysis to design and manufacture a modular microcalorimeter with more precise and repeatable connections at a fraction of the cost.
