Abstract

The precise measurement of ac voltage is traditionally performed by thermal converters. However, these devices are impractical outside the laboratories and the development of DACs and ADCs seems to provide a possibility for new high precision techniques. This paper investigates this problem and, by means of some experimental comparative tests, analyses these new possibilities.
