Abstract
The AC electrical response of cermet and carbon-composition resistors was monitored as a function of frequency (5 Hz :S f :S 13 MHz) and subsequently analyzed using lumped parameter/ complex plane analysis techniques and Bode plots. The variation in temperature (300 0 K ::; T :S 375°K) was employed to delineate equivalent circuit parameters which are representative of competing phenomena occurring in these resistors. The results were rationalized with possible mechanisms, and allowed the systematic development of a representative equivalent circuit.
