The new source is based on an improved voltage-controlled current source (VCCS) circuit, and a wideband dc current transducer (DCCT) is added for high-current conversion in the feedback loop. The advantage of this modification is that the power consumption on the sample resistor of the VCCS can be greatly reduced, thus the resistor stability can be easily guaranteed. The preliminary measurement results show that the current stability of the designed source is better than 0.5 ppm/h.","PeriodicalId":415488,"journal":{"name":"2016 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2016)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125424664","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}

In the past the small bridge differential voltage in the mV/V range was calibrated in two subsequent voltage ratio calibrations. However, this procedure was time consuming and only works reliably if both voltages are stable over time. For this purpose a new setup was developed which is able to measure the differential voltage of the bridge standard in one single measurement. This improves the calibration time to approx. one third with reduced uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":415488,"journal":{"name":"2016 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2016)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130157906","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}
