HF CIRCUITS

The principal goal of this project was to develop the SI system in a way that impacted emerging areas of technology that utilise RF, microwave, millimetre-wave and submillimetre-wave electromagnetic science and technology. Research and development was undertaken to achieve traceability between existing SI units, and the new and evolving quantities and units that are used in these sectors of 'applied' metrology... The lack of traceability for newly-developed instrumentation introduces a barrier to the use of this instrumentation in high-value, high-impact, fields - for example, medical, security, consumer electronics and environmental monitoring uses. The advancements in instrumentation have been required to meet the needs of existing and next-generation end-user applications, e.g. in industry and elsewhere.
