An instrum ent based 011 the twin T null circuit can be made self-calibrating at a given frequency, allowing conductances in the proper range to be measured directly in terms of a change in capacitance, without any need for acc urate knowledge of t he values of the circuit elements. Analysis of a practical circuit shows t hat such an instrum ent is potentially capable of measuring conductance to within a few parts in 106 at frequencies below abo ut 15 MHz, and t hat accuracies actually obtained will be limi ted only by the accuracy to which changes in effective capacitance are known. Conductances between 0.01 and 0.0001 mho were measured at 107 radians/sec with an estimated erro l' of 0.05 percent, which is the errol' associated with the measurement of changes in effective capacitance at that freq uency.","PeriodicalId":367668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, Section C: Engineering and Instrumentation","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1965-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131116494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
