  3. \section{Prestudy}
  4. Since not much was known about the project at this time, it was difficult to find relevant papers on the topic of the standards. Most of the literature was found during the project as new problems was found along the way.
  5. \section{Initial measurement of the old equipment}
  6. The result from the initial measurements are presented, along with the limits, in \autoref{tab:initial_measurements} and \autoref{tab:initial_measurements_sna}.

  55. The 3rd alternative was chosen because of the convenience of a fully automatic system and because of the electrical safety that alternative 2 would pose.

  75. Vishay's CRCW-HP series fitted this description and were easily available.
  76. The \SI{54.7}{\deci\bel} attenuator was divided into two \SI{27.35}{\deci\bel} $\Pi$ attenuator links. When the closest values for the resistors had been chosen, using \SI{56}{\ohm} as shunt resistors and \SI{56}{\ohm} in series, the final attenuation was \SI{53.66}{\deci\bel} for the two links according to the simulation, seen in \autoref{fig:ltspice-att-ideal-54}. The input and output resistance was
