We all have our various highly accurate frequency and perhaps time references. Is there a relatively simple and inexpensive method of making an accurate RF power level reference? If so, then what do we calibrate it with, not already having such an accurate reference?
One possibility that comes to mind is an HP 436A power meter. These are abundant and usually have no sensor probes (which are expensive). They also have a built in 50MHz, 0dBm reference. However, without more fancy test equipment, I have no way to calibrate the reference, or even verify that it is accurate.
