The best guess for the Mismatch of the P

P
d
is = 1. Output power of the source as
shown earlier is:
This equation shows that if an infinite amount of readings of mismatch were taken
between P
s
P
d
the mean value would equal 1.
Using the above values gives
[1] The resistance on the 432A Power meters is set to 200 Ω for this test
