Relationship between time-domain and frequency-domain calibration on resistive voltage divider

The resistive voltage dividers are commonly used in many high voltage measurements. Their performance affects the measurement accuracy. Different calibration methods are discussed in this paper. The corresponding relations between the time-domain parameters calibrated by step response and frequency-domain parameters calibrated by network analyzers are obtained by mathematic derivations. These relations are beneficial for calibrating accurately the dividers used in the high amplitude and high frequency fields. One application example is given in the paper.
