Methods for measuring the W-boson properties at hadron colliders are discussed. It is demonstrated that the ratio between the W- and Z-boson observables can be reliably calculated using perturbative QCD, even when the individual W- and Z-boson observables are not. Hence, by using a measured Z-boson observable and the perturbative calculation of the ratio of the W- over Z-boson observable, we can accurately predict the W-boson observable. The use of the ratio reduces both the experimental and theoretical systematic uncertainties substantially. Compared to the currently used methods it might, at high luminosity, result in a smaller overall uncertainty on the measured W-boson mass and width.
