This work deals with the use of high precision digital modular systems, employed towards a wideband chassis, for use with PJVS devices. A key feature of digital modular systems lies on their fast software reconfigurability, exploited to better adapt characteristics as well as performances of different boards (e.g., DACs, ADCs, timing and synchronization) to a specific experimental setup. A compact and modular wideband measurement system suitable to interact dynamically with series array of Josephson junctions is developed. Synchronous digital modules for digital synthesis of isofrequential LF triangular and RF rectangular patterns and precise sampling are used for realtime characterization of sections of a PJVS chip, which operates in a two-stage (4 K) cryocooler system. A suitable synchronous program has been developed and new algorithms are being tested for synthesis of arbitrary LF quantum waveforms, that will be used for direct traceability of digital systems .
At the National Institute of Metrological Research a convenient setup to verify the DMMs linearity has been developed. It consists in a top-class calibrated DC Voltage calibrator supplying directly the DMMs under test. Some Keysight 3458A, a Fluke 8508A and an 8588A DMMs are being enrolled in the tests. This setup is also compared with another setup with a Digital Analog Converter (R -2R DAC) in place of the calibrator. The DMMs linearity is being verified both when DMMs are just switched on and at thermal regime. The interference of the input stages of the DMMs connected in parallel during the linearity measurements and the linearity by inverting the plug of one of the DMMs connected in parallel are currently under verification.
Resumé. À l'Institut national de recherche metrologique (INRIM) il a été développé un étalon de haute tension continue avec des valeurs sélectionnables de 10 V à 100 V pour compenser le manque d'étalons de haut niveau de tension continue d'une valeur supérieure à 10 V pour les comparaisons interlaboratoires de haut niveau. Il a été utilisé une nouvelle technique électronique de terre mobile. L'étalon développé a un bruit inférieur et il a la stabilité égal à celle des calibrateurs de tension continue ou multifonction de haut niveau largement utilisé dans les laboratoires d'étalonnage électriques; il a aussi une meilleure attitude à être transporté pour les comparaisons interlaboratoires. Le projet est extensible jusqu'à 1000 V..
Abstract. Inter-laboratory comparisons (ILCs) are an effective mean to establish the compatibility of the measurements among laboratories. As consequence they are a mean to assure confidence in the competence and in the correctness of the dissemination processes from national Standards in different countries. This paper refers on a ILC between the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRIM-Italy) and the European space research and technology Centre (ESA-ESTEC), belonging to two different countries, on DC Voltage, DC Resistance and Electrical Capacitance carried out in 2016. The comparison showed a satisfactory agreement between the results of the two Laboratories.
