The authors discuss the RF voltage measurement capability of an equivalent-time sampling system investigated over the frequency range of 1-100 MHz. The system is easily calibrated from step response measurements, independent of thermal transfer standards. Comparison measurements made with NBS-calibrated thermal converters show agreement generally within the stated uncertainties presently provided by NBS for such calibrations. The system offers several advantages over conventional thermal transfer techniques: ac/dc transfers are not required, loading and transmission line problems are reduced, and direct measurement of voltages from 2 V to as low as 10 mV are possible.
