Hi Bert, all,
It occurred to me last night that if the central
divider chain were to be a compensated RC ladder, it might be
possible to make a resistive chain self-compensating by using the
stray capacitance between resistors. Essentially, by arranging the
resistors in the following fashion:
|
---///--
|
---///--
|
---///--
|
---///--
|
etc. and suitably sizing the resistors such that their resistance
matched the parasitic capacitive reactance, we might obtain such a
result.
?
Regards,
Malcolm
