Frequency compensated high power matrix resistor network

Abstract

This paper describes a circuit arrangement, design and construction of the power load composed of many pieces of thick film flanged resistors, which are serial-parallel connected so that the resulting combination showed the desired impedance-resistance, which may or may not be consistent with the resistance of individual components and, at the same time, it can be loaded with more power than a single component. The solution is given to the compensation circuit which increases several times the maximum frequency at which the load is applied.
