Measuring the root-mean-square values of random voltages with tube voltmeters

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Conclusions

The above examples indicate that in using standard tube voltmeters for measuring root-mean-square values of noise voltages it is necessary to take into account the distribution laws of their instantaneous values. Otherwise substantial errors can be made. By using the above technique it is possible to find the required corrections for every type of voltmeter and any kind of distribution law of a stationary random process.
