Abstract

Two prototypes of a current comparator for operation at low frequencies in the 0.1 Hz to 1 Hz range and at room temperature have been realized. Experimental tests include the determination of the frequency-dependent sensitivity and a comparative measurement of the ratio of two standard resistors with nominal values of 1 kΩ and 100 Ω. The realized current comparator is the main ratio standard in a precision ac resistance bridge operated without need of liquid helium which will be one of the main measurement instruments for a future graphene-based quantum Hall resistance standard.
