Selection and calibration of capacitors for use as Standards is a challenging task, especially since the accuracies required, depening on the application, can be very demanding for the test gear as well as for the secondary- and working-standards used.
2. Capacitance Calibration The precision measurement of capacitors for the purpose of calibration is generally based on a national primary standard of high accuracy, secondary/working Standards derived from it, and a capacitance- (or LCR-) meter used for the measurement (i.e. calibration) of the devices under test (DUT).
In our case, the capacitor is connected to the LCR meter via a 0.61 m cable. The calibration interpolation factor, Kc = 0, because all of the measurements are taken at direct calibration frequencies. The cable length factor, Kd = 0.00025(1 + 50fm), for the calibration interpolation factor is given for a cable length of 1 m.
It is recommended that this calibration be performed before each calibration of a capacitor set, in order to minimize the measurements errors. The program creates one file to store the measurements and another file where the report summarizing the calibration results will be stored.
A capacitance scaling method is used to calibrate 4TP standard capacitors of values from 10 nF to 100 μF. Aoki and Yokoi introduced this technique in 1997 . References and describe the general method and provide a detailed uncertainty analysis. Aoki and Yokoi developed a calibration procedure based on reference .
