Title: Apparatus for temperature measurement
Inventor: GOODING ROGER MULHERN
IPC: G01K7/20
Filed: 1992-06-17
Abstract: In a method of, and apparatus for, temperature measurement, there is provided a reference resistance 12 in the form of a precision, high stability resister (such as a wire wound resister) connected in series with a resistive temperature sensor 10. The resistors are connected to a current source which passes a current through them, while an integrator 16 monitors the voltage across each resister, by being ramped up by the voltage across one resister and ramped down by the voltage across the other resister at a rate related to the magnitudes of those voltages. This process is repeated, and the ramping up and down durations are stored and accumulated for subsequent analysis by data processing means 20, which compares the accumulated ramping up durations and down durations in order to determine the ratio of resistance value of the sensor to that of the reference resister. The process may be repeated with a reverse polarity current to obtain a further ratio, which may be combined with the first obtained ratio to compensate for errors arising within the apparatus. <IMAGE>
