摘要:
A method and apparatus for the comparision of AC signals by electrothermal means in which both signals are applied to an electrothermal converter, such as a thermocouple converter or a thermoresistive converter, and the temperature produced by the signals is converted to a difference signal. The DC component of the difference signal is used to maintain the electrothermal converter at a stable operating temperature. The AC component of the difference signal is used to indicate the difference between two signals when used as a comparator, to control the amplitude of a reference standard's output when used as a voltmeter or calibration standard, and also to control the amplitude of an oscillator when used as a calibration standard.

摘要:
A compensation circuit for a heater wire and a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor generating a signal whose amplitude is dependent upon the amplitude of the voltage across the heater wire. The circuit comprises a comparator circuit and a priority encoder circuit for generating digital information that is a function of the amplitude of the voltage in the heater wire; a multiplexor/demultiplexor circuit, responsive to the digital information generated, for generating a reversal error compensation signal, the generated reversal error compensation signal having an amplitude that is a function of the Peltier and Thomson effects associated with the heater wire; and amplifier/chopper circuits adapted to generate a compensated sensor signal that is a function of the reversal error compensation signal and the uncompensated sensor signal. The amplitude of the compensated sensor signal is approximately that of the signal generated by the sensor in the absence of the Peltier and Thomson effects associated with the heater wire.

Electrothermal conversion elements, apparatus and methods for use in comparing, calibrating and measuring electrical signals utilizing a thin film heater on a thin, low mass, low thermal conductivity substrate and low mass thermoresistive or PN junction thermal radiation sensors. The element emits IR radiation in response to electrical input. The radiation is collected and converted to an electrical signal proportional to the RMS value of the input signal. Isothermal operation enhances both IR and electrical operation.
