The basic bridge arrangement is shown below –
The AC constant current source generates a sine-wave that supplies R
t
and R
s
in series - so
both resistors see identical currents.
The inductive divider consists of numerous turns of wires round transformer cores. The turns are
arranged so that they form a series of ratio dividers that can be individually switched in and
out by the balancing circuit.
The bridge works by balancing the inductive dividers (using the phase difference detector) so
that the ratio of currents in the two series resistors is precisely known and equal to their ratio.
Since the balance point depends only on the ratio of the transformer turns to the unknown
resistance, the measurement is precise and unaffected by drift.
