Surveys the wide range of meters and techniques for calibrating and intercomparing the power of radio frequencies and microwaves in the range 1MHz to 200 GHz, a procedure necessary in many branches of science and technology. The reader is assumed to be at least a graduate level electrical engineer or physicist. Considers the fundamentals; calorimetry, which is the basis for most measurement; the various types of non-calorimeter power meters, including thermistor, thermoelectric, and diode types, and force-operated and other types; calibration and intercomparison methods; pulsed power measurements; related voltage and current measurement; and the international intercomparison of standards.
