Abstract
Upon measuring high voltage of a steep-front impulse, a voltage divider is the most important element in a measuring system. When the divider is improperly selected and connected to a circuit under test upon measuring such a steep-front wave, severe errors may be produced in measured values. Accordingly, it is necessary in view of reliability of an experimental result to investigate sufficiently a response characteristic of the divider beforehand. We have now constructed a divider with use of solid resistors, which enables an excellent response characteristic to be yielded. A fundamental relationship between a rectangular wave response required for estimating measurement errors will be described below in detail together with a description of a response characteristic of the developed solid resistive divider and its relative errors.
