Abstract

We describe a cryogenic current comparator (CCC) bridge for resistance scaling that provides improved measurement uncertainty over a range of resistance values from 100 k(Ω) to 1 G(Ω). This CCC is designed for high resistance scaling based directly on a quantized Hall resistance (QHR) standard as well as comparisons of resistance ratios of 1, 10 and 100. The QHR-to-decade-value winding ratio offset is chosen so as to approximately cancel the offsets produced by resistive decade windings.
