Abstract

A circuit configuration for measuring resistance and/or leakage between two nodes, which includes a current source for feeding a test current into one of the two nodes and a circuit element that detects the voltage resulting between the two nodes. The output of a broadband signal generator is connected to a control input of the current source. The outputs of the circuit element and of the signal generator are connected to the inputs of the correlator for determining the correlation between their output signals.
