Abstract

This paper describes differential sampling measurements of an ac source and a Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer (JAWS). A new iterative approach for aligning the phases of the JAWS and the source waveforms was implemented to minimize the differential voltage at the digitizer. A type-A uncertainty of 45 nV/V was measured for a commercial ac source at 1 V rms amplitude and 1 kHz.
