Improved ground state constants of 12CH4 and 13CH4 have been obtained using new infrared measurements combined with previously published microwave data. The line positions of the ν2/ν4 dyad near 7 μm have been measured with a precision of 0.00006 cm-1 using 0.0055 and 0.011 cm-1 resolution spectra recorded with the Fourier transform spectrometer at Kitt Peak National Observatory/National Solar Observatory. Using a sixth order Hamiltonian, the ground state and the ν2/ν4 upper states (J. P. Champion, J. C. Hilico, C. Wenger and L. R. Brown, J. Mol. Spectrosc.133, 256-272 (1989)) have been fitted simultaneously to within the precision of the data through J = 23 for 12CH4 and J = 19 for 13CH4. Absolute ground state energies and their standard deviations are given up to J = 30 for both isotopes. For Q- and R-branch transitions within the ground states, the statistical precisions from this study are similar (in the same order of magnitude) to the precision of microwave measurements.
