Abstract

This report describes an investigation into the theoretical basis for the equivalent capacitance substitution method (ECSM) of monopole calibration, and the uncertainty in applying this method. An important part of this work was to compare the results obtained by ECSM to the free-field calibration technique developed using a MEB1750 GTEM cell at NPL, which replicates a plane wave environment. The project resolved the main sources of error in applying the ECSM, and found good agreement between the two methods of calibration.
