8Table 3 has two examples of uncertainty calculations. The first is a 10 mW signal at room temperature. The second is a 10 µW, 40 MHz signal at 50°C.

9Mismatch UncertaintyAnother factor of measurement accuracy is mismatch uncertainty. When a source and a load have different impedances, some signal w
