Mismatch
The Mismatch uncertainty was previously determined as being:
Consider the model below:
An estimate of the moduli of P
d
and P
s
are each less than a specified value. P
s
and P
d
each lie within a circle of radius P. Assuming P
d
and P
s
have equal
probability of lying anywhere within the circle the standard uncertainty of
Mismatch becomes
P
s
is the reflection coefficient of the source, which is specified as less than
1.05.
