Uncertainty budget

A practical guide to separating measured frequency changes from drift, calibration limits, and environmental effects in a proposed resonance experiment.

Build an uncertainty budget for synchronized copper-sphere resonance measurements without mistaking calibration artifacts for discoveries.

A 2026 NIST-led study on acoustic resonators above 100 GHz demonstrates a stacking approach that dramatically improves figure of merit — with implications for any experiment that depends on resonant frequency as a primary observable.
