A method for using a “B” channel of a dual channel measurement receiver as a transfer standard for power measurement, which may include, in an exemplary embodiment, correlating a measurement made with an “A” channel of the dual channel measurement receiver to a measurement made with an RF Power Meter on one RF signal source, so that readings from the “A” channel are aligned to the RF Power Meter; aligning the “B” Channel to the “A” Channel, once the “A” channel has been aligned to read the same as the RF Power Meter; and using the “B” Channel as a transfer standard to measure all remaining RF signal sources in the system.

1. A method for using a “B” channel of a dual channel measurement receiver as a transfer standard for power measurement, the method comprising: correlating a measurement made with an “A” channel of the dual channel measurement receiver to a measurement made with an RF Power Meter on one RF signal source, so that readings from the “A” channel are aligned to the RF Power Meter;aligning the “B” Channel to the “A” Channel, once the “A” channel has been aligned to read the same as the RF Power Meter; andusing the “B” Channel as a transfer standard to measure all remaining RF signal sources in the system. 2. A method, the method comprising: calculating an amplitude correction factor by taking a difference in a measurement made with an “A” channel of a dual channel measurement receiver on a first RF signal source with a measurement made with an RF Power Meter on the first RF signal source; andidentifying an aligned measurement from the “A” channel by applying the amplitude correction factor to the measurement made with the “A” channel. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising: comparing a measurement made with a “B” Channel of the dual channel measurement receiver with the aligned measurement from the “A” Channel;aligning the “B” Channel based on the comparing step; andusing the “B” Channel as a transfer standard to align a second RF signal source. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the aligning step further comprises: identifying an External Amplitude Correction Factor (EACF) by calculating a difference between the measurement made with the “B” Channel with the aligned measurement from the “A” Channel. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the using step further comprises: identifying an Internal Alignment Amplitude Correction Factor (IAACF) by correlating the measurement made with the “B” Channel with the measurement made with the “A” Channel. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein the “A” Channel and the “B” Channel time-share access to a synthetic stimulus instrument (SSI) serving as a tunable local oscillator (LO). 7. The method of claim 2, wherein the measurement made with the “A” Channel is a measurement of an Internal Measurement Path (IMP) of an SSI. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the measurement made with the RF Power Meter is a measurement of a path external to the SSI. 9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising storing computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer system causes the computer system to perform: calculating an amplitude correction factor by taking a difference in a measurement made with an “A” channel of a dual channel measurement receiver on a first RF signal source with a measurement made with an RF Power Meter on the first RF signal source; andidentifying an aligned measurement from the “A” channel by applying the amplitude correction factor to the measurement made with the “A” channel. 10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, further comprising code for: comparing a measurement made with a “B” Channel of the dual channel measurement receiver with the aligned measurement from the “A” Channel;aligning the “B” Channel based on the comparing step; andusing the “B” Channel as a transfer standard to align a second RF signal source. 11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the aligning step further comprises: identifying an External Amplitude Correction Factor (EACF) by calculating the difference between the measurement made with the “B” Channel with the aligned measurement from the “A” Channel. 12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the using step further comprises: identifying an Internal Alignment Amplitude Correction Factor (IAACF) by correlating the measurement made with the “B” Channel with the measurement made with the “A” Channel. 13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the “A” Channel and the “B” Channel time-share access to a synthetic stimulus instrument (SSI) serving as a tunable local oscillator (LO). 14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the measurement made with the “A” Channel is a measurement of an Internal Measurement Path (IMP) of an SSI. 15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the measurement made with the RF Power Meter is a measurement of a path external to the SSI. 16. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising: calculating, using at least one computing platform, an amplitude correction factor by taking a difference in a measurement made with an “A” channel of a dual channel measurement receiver on a first RF signal source with a measurement made with an RF Power Meter on the first RF signal source; andidentifying an aligned measurement from the “A” channel by applying the amplitude correction factor to the measurement made with the “A” channel. 17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16, further comprising: comparing a measurement made with the “B” Channel of the dual channel measurement receiver with the aligned measurement from the “A” Channel;aligning the “B” Channel based on the comparing step; andusing the “B” Channel as a transfer standard to align a second RF signal source. 18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17, wherein the aligning step further comprises: identifying an External Amplitude Correction Factor (EACF) by calculating a difference between the measurement made with the “B” Channel with the aligned measurement from the “A” Channel. 19. The computer-implemented method of claim 17, wherein the using step further comprises: identifying an Internal Alignment Amplitude Correction Factor (IAACF) by correlating the measurement made with the “B” Channel with the measurement made with the “A” Channel. 20. The computer-implemented method of claim 17, wherein the “A” Channel and the “B” Channel time-share access to a synthetic stimulus instrument (SSI) serving as a tunable local oscillator (LO). 21. The computer-implemented method of claim 16, wherein the measurement made with the “A” Channel is a measurement of an Internal Measurement Path (IMP) of an SSI. 22. The computer-implemented method of claim 21, wherein the measurement made with the RF Power Meter is a measurement of a path external to the SSI.
