Abstract:
This paper presents a method for calibrating 10:1 ratios in a high-resistance bridge using series resistors simply and accurately. Using the presented method, the combined relative standard uncertainty for 1 GΩ resistance measurements with a modified Wheatstone bridge was estimated to be on the 1 × 10-6 level. The method was also applied to 1 GΩ resistance measurements using a directcurrent comparator resistance bridge. It was found that the 1 GΩ resistances determined by the two bridges agreed within 2.4 × 10-6 Ω/Ω. We expect that the presented method can also be used to calibrate arbitrary resistance ratios.
