FREQUENCY DEPENDENCE OF AC VOLTMETERS

2.1. Tasks of the measurement

2.1.1. Measure the frequency dependence of the digital voltmeters and LF analog voltmeter
in the frequency range 70 Hz to 300 kHz, using approximate logarithmic scale 70,
100, 200, 500 Hz, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300 kHz. The digital voltmeter HP
34401A should be considered as frequency independent reference device in the given
frequency range. Measure at relevant measurement ranges of the voltmeters for
voltage a) 1 V, b) 10 V. The schematic diagram is shown in figure 2.1.
2.1.2. Plot the measured curves and explain the differences of their shapes.
