Dear All,

I am on the lookout for some books/references in the field of calibration.
Would appreciate if you could recommend or suggest me some books?
Might be sounding as a cheapskate but the trainings nowadays are kinda expensive and lengthy,agreed?
So, any books covering measurements using the usual suspects( multimeter,network analyzer,spectrums,power sensors and meters,frequency counters and GPS ) would suffice for now?
Yes, i have downloaded quite a few good reads from the Agilent/R&S sites but i would like to have a book encompassing this subject.
Appreciate the help.
Alos, i would be much obliged if any of you can also sell me some working instructions/procedures of RF/Microwave calibrations and items?

One good general reference book I own and would recommend is:
CALIBRATION: PHILOSOPHY IN PRACTICE published by Fluke Corp.

Snother book that has some good info is:
CCT PRIMER, available from www.qualitycouncil.com
- That one is text for Certified Calibration Technician

A good working knowledge of numerous aspects of Physics is generally helpful in calibration. Maybe find a good basic physics textbook and do some studying.

Some understanding of statistics is useful. Find some text about basics of statistics.

The other point I would make is that calibration covers so very many scientific areas that you won't find much that covers everything. You really need to pick your target areas, and look for publications that cover them.

There is also a company, I think called Workplace Training (in Minnesota) that sells CD ROM based training in numerous areas of calibration.

The final thought is to go to www.ncsli.org and look around their website. I might even suggest sending them an email with some of your questions; and they may be able to provide you with some contact names.
