Different Types of Standards to Perform Calibration in Electronics Systems and Devices

Different types of electronic devices may require different calibration standards, based on the quantity being measured and the level of accuracy required. Some common examples of calibration standards for electronics include:

1. Voltage reference: A voltage reference is used to calibrate voltage meters and other devices that measure electrical potential.

2. Resistance standard: A resistance standard is used to calibrate resistance meters and other devices that measure electrical resistance.

3. Power standard: A power standard is used to calibrate power meters and other devices that measure electrical power.

4. Time and frequency standards: These are used to calibrate clocks, oscillators, and other devices that measure time or frequency.

5. RF power standards: These are used to calibrate radio frequency power meters and other devices that measure RF power.

6. Impedance standards: These are used to calibrate impedance meters and other devices that measure the opposition to electrical flow (impedance).

7. Spectrophotometer standards: These are used to calibrate spectrophotometers and other devices that measure light and color.

Each of these standards must be regularly calibrated to maintain accuracy, and the choice of the standard will depend on the specific application and measurement requirements.
