The Seventh Intercomparison of Josephson Voltage Standards in North America

The seventh interlaboratory comparison of Josephson voltage standards (JVS) at 10 V, sponsored by the National Conference of Standard Laboratories International, took place from April to October 2005 with 15 participating laboratories. A traveling JVS system of the National Institute of Standards and Technology was used to make five comparisons with the subpivot laboratories. This paper describes the protocol used for the JVS intercomparison and the improvements achieved by the use of the transportable JVS
