Title: Design and optimization of range resistors for a multijunction thermal converter

Conference ·
OSTI ID:125843

The range resistors to be used with a multifunction thermal converter (MJTC) have been developed. Based on the measured frequency dependence of the impedance of the PTB-type MJTC an appropriate model for the converter has been developed. Range resistors have been designed in such a way that the voltage across the thermal converter remains unchanged from dc to 1 MHz within a few ppm. The stray capacitance of the resistors is blocked with active quards; and the skin effect is compensated with a family of the RC-circuits set in parallel with the range resistor.
