    An alternative approach to implementing an interfacing circuit for resistive sensor-based remote measurement is presented. The proposed technique uses a Current Feedback Operational Amplifier (CFOA) as an active building block to produce an output voltage linearly related to the resistance of the sensor. Moreover, the accuracy of the output voltage is improved by the enhancement of CFOA. In addition, the proposed circuit provides compensation for the effects of lead-wire resistance. The performance of the proposed technique is discussed in detail and confirmed by PSPICE program simulation and experimental implementation. The resistance decade box is used in the experiment. The maximum error on the output voltage of the experimental results is about 0.4234 %. The experimental results show that the proposed technique provides good performance.

    A procedure for the precise determination and compensation of the lead-wire resistance of a resistance transducer is presented. The proposed technique is suitable for a two-wire resistance transducer, especially the resistance temperature detector (RTD). The proposed procedure provides a technique to compensate for the lead-wire resistance using a three-level pulse signal to excite the RTD via the long lead wire. In addition, the variation in the lead-wire resistance disturbed by the change in the ambient temperature can also be compensated by using the proposed technique. The determination of the lead-wire resistance from the proposed procedure requires a simple computation method performed by a digital signal processing unit. Therefore, the calculation of the RTD resistance and the lead-wire resistance can be achieved without the requirement of a high-speed digital signal processing unit. The proposed procedure is implemented on two platforms to confirm its effectiveness: the LabVIEW computer program and the microcontroller board. Experimental results show that the RTD resistance was accurately acquired, where the measured temperature varied from 0<sup>◦</sup>C to 300<sup>◦</sup>C and the lead-wire resistance varied from 0.2 Ω to 20 Ω, corresponding to the length of the 26 American wire gauge (AWG) lead wire from 1.5 m to 150 m. The average power dissipation to the RTD was very low and the self-heating of the RTD was minimized. The measurement error of the RTD resistance observed for pt100 was within ±0.98 Ω or ±0.27<sup>◦</sup>C when the lead wire of 30 m was placed in an environment with the ambient temperature varying from 30<sup>◦</sup>C to 70<sup>◦</sup>C. It is evident that the proposed procedure provided a performance that agreed with the theoretical expectation.
