Abstract
We have developed a system to extend, by a factor of up to 1000, the voltage range over which Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizers (JAWS) can be used in ac voltage metrology. The system is based on a precision inductive voltage divider, with a lock-in amplifier as the detector. Using a JAWS with a maximum output voltage of 250 mV (root mean square), we have made accurate voltage measurements up to 120 V at 60 Hz with expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of no more than 1.5 μV/V and demonstrate that the system can operate up to 1 kHz. We anticipate that our JAWS-based system will improve uncertainties in ac voltage metrology by one order of magnitude compared to techniques based on thermal voltage converters.
