Scaling from the quantum Hall resistance to 100 Ω standard resistors used by the NIST-4 Watt Balance involves multiple resistance standards and bridges to...

Fabrication of High Value Standard Resistors for ICE-LMVE

Author(s)
Dean G. Jarrett, Isabel Castro, Marlin E. Kraft
In Costa Rica, the Laboratorio Metrológico de Variables Eléctricas (LMVE) at the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) develops and improves measurement...

First mass measurements with the NIST-4 watt balance

Author(s)
Darine El Haddad, Leon S. Chao, Frank C. Seifert, David B. Newell, Jon R. Pratt, Stephan Schlamminger
In the past four years, we have constructed a new watt balance at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the goal to realize the unit...

2 V Pulse-Driven Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer

Author(s)
Nathan E. Flowers-Jacobs, Alain Rufenacht, Anna E. Fox, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
We created a Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS) with a root-mean-square (rms) output magnitude of 2 V. This system is composed of two 1 V chips...

Improved spectra aberration in the Johnson Noise Thermometry

Author(s)
Alessio Pollarolo, Horst Rogalla, Anna Fox, Kevin J. Coakley, Weston L. Tew, Samuel P. Benz
SPECTRAL ABERRATION HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME THE MAIN SOURCE OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE JOHNSON NOISE THERMOMETRY APPROACH TO MEASURING THE BOLTZMANN CONSTANT...

Josephson-Based Full Digital Bridge for High-Accuracy Impedance Comparisons

Author(s)
Frederic Overney, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Blaise Jeanneret, Alain Rufenacht, Anna Fox, Jason Underwood, Andrew D. Koffman, Samuel P. Benz
This paper describes a Josephson-based impedance bridge capable of comparing any types of impedance over a large bandwidth. The heart of the bridge is a dual AC...

Laser Refractometer as a Transfer Standard of the Pascal

Author(s)
Patrick Egan, Jack A. Stone Jr., Jacob Edmond Ricker, Jay H. Hendricks
We have developed a new low pressure sensor which is based on the measurement of (nitrogen) gas refractivity inside a Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity. We compare...
