Abstract:
This paper describes a measurement circuit for the calibration of pico-ammeters in dc current. The system is based on a 100 MΩ Hamon network developed at INRIM to improve the traceability level of the maintained 1 GΩ standard. Besides the Hamon network, the measurement system, presented in this paper, consists of a precision dc voltage source and an electronic circuit used as voltage guard driver.
