Comparison of a Thermal AC Voltage Standard in the 1–30-MHz Frequency Range

Abstract

This article presents results of a comparison of a traveling ac voltage standard, which was a fused-silica planar multijunction thin-film thermal converter (PMJTC) developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The ac–dc voltage-transfer difference of the standard was measured at 2 V and selected frequencies from 1–30 MHz against primary thermal ac voltage standards at the Silesian University of Technology, Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, and Trescal A/S Silkeborg.
