Abstract

A new system to characterize the magnitude and phase characteristics of 1 pF to 1 uF capacitance standards over the 50 Hz to 100 kHz frequency range is described. The system has been developed to provide measurement support for LCR meters and general impedance measurement services. It consists of an inductive voltage divider (IVD) bridge capable of accurately comparing two capacitance standards and a set of 1 pF to 1 nF capacitance standards with known magnitude and phase characteristics. Details of the measurement system will be given, along with preliminary measurement results and major sources of error.
