Abstract

Progress toward an understanding of the frequency dependence of capacitance and resistance standards at frequencies up to 10 MHz is presented. A qualitative comparison is also made for capacitance and dissipation factor measurements between the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) high-frequency four terminal-pair (4TP) bridge and a commercial impedance analyzer for the first time. A set of novel high-frequency calculable coaxial resistance standards, of nominal 100 Ω and 1 kΩ values, have been developed and their calculated frequency dependence up to 1 MHz is given.
