Abstract
The Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) has established a measurement chain allowing calibration of capacitance standards in terms of the quantized Hall resistance (QHR). An important element in the chain is a quadrature bridge linking a pair of ac resistors of values 2R/sub K/ /spl ap/ 51.6 k/spl Omega/ to a pair of capacitance standards. The quadrature bridge can be operated at five different frequencies: 513, 1027, 1541, 3082, and 6164 Hz. For such measurements, we use different ratios (1/1, 4/1 and 1/4) for the main inductive voltage divider in the quadrature bridge and three different pairs of capacitors of values 3000, 2000, and 1000 pF. A calculable coaxial resistance of 1290.6 /spl Omega/ (R/sub K//20) is used as a reference to evaluate the frequency dependence of the 51.6-k/spl Omega/ resistances. This allows the calibration of capacitance standards at the five different frequencies. The measured frequency dependences of 10 and 100 pF capacitance standards are reported.
