Measurement Uncertainty 

General Information 

Overall power measurement uncertainty has many component parts: 

Instrument Accuracy

The accuracy of the meter used to read the power sensor. 

Sensor Linearity and Temperature Linearity 

Sensor linearity and temperature linearity describe the relative 
power level response over the dynamic range of the sensor. 
Temperature linearity should be considered when operating the 
sensor at other than room temperature.
