suitable for the calibration of phase sensitive measuring systems and harmonics in power analyzers is being developed at INRIM.
Digital-to-analog converters with high resolution and update rate simultaneously synthesize a pair of waveforms with fine trimming
of electric parameters and harmonics. Its bandwidth is up to 100 MHz, verified with a wideband sampling oscilloscope, and the
frequency resolution is 20mHz in the whole bandwidth. The synthesizer has been characterized in terms of amplitude, accuracy,
and stability up to 1MHz by means of a programmable ac/dc
transfer standard. For frequencies up to 100 kHz, a calibrated
precision digitizer, configured as a phase comparator, is used
for its characterization. The measured phase offset and noise at
20 kHz are 5 μrad and 300 nrad, respectively. The same digitizer
has been used for the precise measure of the harmonic spurs
up to 100 kHz. Instead, for the evaluation of the total harmonic
distortion from 100 kHz up to 50 MHz, a wideband spectrum
analyzer has been used. The algorithms employed allow the use of
the synthesizer as a digital phase standard or as a polyharmonic arbitrary synthesizer with independent outputs

Asynchronous Phase Comparator for Characterization of Devices for PMUs Calibrator
No full textThis paper reports recent progress in developing a new asynchronous digital phase comparator for the precision measurement of phase difference of voltage ratio devices and calibration of functional elements of phasor measurement units (PMUs) calibrator. The phase error of the proposed digital comparator is below 300 nrad at 50 Hz and 100 μrad at 100 kHz with applied voltages ranging between 500 mV and 3 V, whereas the phase error of cables and connectors was estimated to be 4 μrad at 1 MHz. Besides resistive dividers, the phase comparator has been employed for the characterization of frequency behavior of phase difference between the output and input of voltage and transconductance amplifiers for a PMUs calibrator. The system can also be an important tool for phase-frequency characterization of devices employed for specific wideband power measurements
Wideband digital phase comparator for high current shunts
No full textA wideband phase comparator for precise measurements of phase difference of high current shunts has been developed at INRIM. The two-input digital phase detector is realized with a
precision wideband digitizer connected to the outputs of the shunts under comparison through
a pair of symmetric active guarded transformers. Data are first acquired asynchronously, and
then transferred from on-board memory to host memory. Because of the large amount of data
collected the filtering process and the analysis algorithms are performed outside the acquisition
routine. Most of the systematic errors can be compensated by a proper inversion procedure.
The system is suitable for comparing shunts in a wide range of currents, from 2A up to
100 A, and frequencies ranging between 500 Hz and 100 kHz. Expanded uncertainty (k = 2)
less than 50 μrad, for frequency up to 100 kHz, is obtained in the measurement of the phase
difference of a group of 10A shunts, provided by some European NMIs, using a digitizer with
sampling frequency up to 1 MHz. An enhanced version of the phase comparator employs a
new digital phase detector with higher sampling frequency and vertical resolution. This
permits the contribution to the uncertainty budget of the phase detector to be decreased by a
factor two from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. Theories and experiments show that the phase difference
between two high precision wideband digitizers, coupled as a phase detector, depends on multiple factors derived from the analogue and digital imprint of each sampling system
