Characterization of Four-Terminal-Pair Resistance Standards: A Comparison of Measurements and Theory

Published

Randolph Elmquist, Anne-Marie Jeffery, Dean G. Jarrett

Abstract

Coaxial straight-wire resistance standards with calculable frequency dependence have been used to tie alternating-current (ac) measurements to direct-current (dc) measurements of resistance. Coaxial standards of values 100 ω and 1000 ω are compared with each other and with other resistance standards at several frequencies up to 15 920 Hz using ac bridges.
