Within the scope of the N-Type Microcalorimeter Development Project for the Egyptian Institute of Metrology (NIS), the microcalorimeter system, which was completely realized by TÜBİTAK UME RF and Microwave Laboratory, was officially completed and delivered to the user on turnkey basis.

Within the scope of the project, the design, production and functional testing of an N-type (10 MHz-18 GHz) microcalorimeter was successfully finalized through RAMNT company, and it was presented to the Egyptian Metrology Institute after training was provided.

The project delivery ceremony was attended by Prof. Dr. Mohammed Amer, Director of the Egyptian Institute of Metrology (NIS), NIS RF& Microwave Laboratory supervisor and staff, RAMNT Director Refaat Ramadan, Microcalorimeter project manager Dr. Murat Celep and TÜBİTAK UME experts.

With the completion of this project, the primary level microcalorimetry system was fully realized using the capabilities of TÜBİTAK UME and Turkey, and made available to another country's metrology institute.

Microcalorimetry is considered the primary level system for RF power measurements and is used by national metrology institutes to calibrate power sensors used for primary level power measurements. These systems are not commercially available but are produced by major metrology institutes such as NPL (UK), PTB (Germany), LCIE (France), INRiM (Italy) and NIST (United States) as part of projects. The microcalorimeters are custom-designed by the institutes to meet their requirements, with different designs for each connector type and power sensor.
