Abstract :
This study presents the synthesis and implementation of non-bridge quasi-balanced circuit designed to measure the dielectric loss factor. Synthesis is performed on the basis of the well-known bridge circuit. The equations of detected signal have been derived and their processing equations have been developed using a general model of a quasi-balanced circuit. Then, a structural diagram describing the processing of signals in the two states of quasi-equilibrium has been derived. An example of a virtual implementation of the derived circuit has been presented.
